248332 Pte. Charles Arthur Johnston British Army 12th Batallion Cyclist Corps from:Great Yarmouth (d.23rd December 1918) Charles Johnston was my grandfather. My Nana never talked about him so I know very little about him. I have their wedding photo and some pictures of him with his family and he looks very like my middle son. I know that my mother must have been a honeymoon baby because Charley and Hannah, my Nana, were married in November 1915 and Mabel, their only child, was born in August 1916. I have a postcard that Charley wrote to Hannah in November 1916, on a ship bound for who knows where. He didn't see either of them again, as far as I know. The tragedy is that after the war ended, Charley was on a ship bound for home (from where?) but he developed malaria and was transferred to the 43rd General Hospital in Salonica where he died, aged 27.
