Biography
The Parish Magazine of October 1915 records Charles, who was serving in the Royal Horse Artillery, as ‘indirectly connected to Pirton’. Parish records suggest only one man of this name who could have served, and he was born February 5th 1898, the son of Frederick William and Grace Coxall, and so he would have been sixteen at the outbreak of war. If this is the right man then he had an elder sister Margery Jane (b 1893); however the reference of ‘indirectly connected to Pirton’ means that perhaps this is a false trail.
