Biography
Charles Jaques was born in the summer of 1894 at St Pancras in London. He was the first child born to Charles (senior) and Eleanor Jaques. At the time of the 1901 and 1911 Census the family lived at 9 Mornington Crescent, St Pancras in the house of Charles’ grand-father. Charles (senior) worked as a Letterpress Printer. In 1911 Charles was the eldest of six children, two sons and four daughters, in the family.
From his Medal Roll Card Charles (junior) was sent to France on 11th March 1915 but he was recorded for the first time in the Abbots Langley Parish Magazine Roll of Honour in July 1916, serving with the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC).
