Pte. Charles W. Burnett

British Army 1/4th (Hallamshire) Battalion York and Lancaster Regiment

from:44 Walkley Road, Sheffield

(d.19th Jul 1917)

My Great Grandfather Charles Burnett was well into his thirties when he joined the Battalion. Before he went off to war he was a Confectionary Labourer working at I think either Bassets or Trebor in Hillsbourough, Sheffield. He was married to Louisa and lived at 44 Walkley Road, Sheffield. My father has a picture of my Great Grandmother standing by Charles' grave at Coxyde Cemetery but I dont think there is a date. I dont really know much more about the family apart from his son, my Grandfather Clifford so impressed a local businessman at a Y.M.C.A camp in Derbyshire that he gave him a job in the wholesale markets in Sheffield and he eventually took over the company.

Thank You Charles for making the ultimate sacrifice for everything you held dear to you.
