The Major's military career commenced in 1899 when he joined the yeoman cavalry at the start of the Boer War, receiving a commission in the Royal Artillery the following year and serving until 1904, when he retired in favour of agricultural pursuits. During the Boer War Charles saw action at Sand River, Wittebergen, Slaapkrantz, and Bothaville, and was involved in the operations in the Transvaal and Orange River Colony. In his history of the family he describes his experiences of guerilla warfare during which he endured: "constant flank and rear-guard actions, long hours in the saddle, extremities of heat and cold, often sleeping on sodden ground and sometimes for weeks living on nothing but bully-beef and dry biscuits ... ". At the outbreak of the First World War he rejoined the Royal Artillery (Reserve of Officers), and served in the Second Battle of Ypres as Captain, and subesquently commanded the Brigade Ammunition Column before Armentières, Boise Grenier, and Péronne, south of the Somme. In 1916 he was invalided home, although he was later sent to Egypt with the Royal Flying Corps in 1917, and then to the Balkans where he took part in operations, including the two battles of Doiran. Immediately after the Armistice Charles was appointed Commandant of the Royal Air Force of the Alexandria and Aboukir District in Egypt. He therefore served in three branches of the armed forces - the Cavalry, the Artillery and the Air Force. He was awarded a number of medals, including two South African medals, the Victory Medal and the Croix de Guerre, and was also made a Member of the British Empire. Major Charles appears to have been a sporting all-rounder, excelling in football, tennis, golf, rowing, and billiards, as well as polo, skating, skiing and other winter sports. One of the testimonials, dated 1919, describe him as "an excellent officer ... His personal habits are those of an English country gentleman. He is a good sportsman, of almost gigantic proportions, full of physical fitness, and just the sort of Englishman for a Colonial appointment." Charles married and had one daughter, but no son to carry on the family tradition of serving in the Royal Artillery.
