Pte. Charles Wilkinson

British Army 5th Btn Highland Light Infantry

from:Glasgow

(d.30th Nov 1917)

My great grandfather, Charles Wilkinson served with the 1st/5th battalion HLI during World War One. He saw action in Gallipoli, Romania, Gaza and was killed in action in Egypt on 30/11/1917 at the age of 29.

I have his 'dead man's penny" mounted in a frame along with a silk embroidery bearing the HLI coat of arms, the places he served and a simple message... "to dear wife from Charles". He is remembered at the Ramleh War Cemetry near Tel Aviv, Isreal.
