Pte. Charles William Rawlings
British Army 9th Battalion Essex Regiment
from:Ilford, Essex
Charles Rawlings was my Grandfather. Born in January 1888 he and his two brothers all enlisted for the start WWI with the Essex Regiment.
Both his brothers were sadly killed in action, one in 1917 the other in 1918. Charlie was taken prisoner and thankfully survived until a ripe old age, passing away in 1974. He would never have anything bad spoken about the German soldiers and in fact I have a letter from one that befriended him at the camp, sent after the end of the war.
