The Roll lists his address as 48 Lincoln Road. It incorrectly records his regimental number as 5312, his forenames as 'William Charles', that he died serving in the 12th Battalion, and was buried at "Dermancourt [sic] Communal Cemetery".
(CWGC records that Rifleman C.W. Barrell, regimental number 7570, was serving in 21st Battalion London Regiment (First Surrey Rifles) when he died on 23/9/1916; he is buried in grave III.C.43 at Dernancourt Communal Cemetery Extension in France. The Army Registers of Soldiers' Effects record that Charles William Barrell died at No 1 South Midland Division Casualty Clearing Station, and that his father Charles was his legatee. When his death at the age of 22 was announced on 14/10/1916 in the Peterborough Advertiser, Charles was said to have formerly been a clerk at the Prudential Office in Peterborough. He was reported to have enlisted in March 1916, and to have been in France for three months before his death. He left a fiancee, Gladys Bonner of Gladstone Street, Peterborough. His birth had been registered in West Bromwich in 1894 as 'Charles William Barrell').
