Charles and his brother Christopher were born in the 1890’s and lived in the town of Marshfield, Gloucestershire, their parents ran the local shop “Bodman, Draper and Grocer”. At the outbreak of the Great War Charles at the age of 24 Volunteered joining the Gloucestershire Regiment and became one of the Bristol Volunteers, serving with the 12th Bn. After training he embarked for France with the Regiment landing on the 21st November 1915. During his time in France he was wounded on two occasions and in 1917 was selected for a Commission, which he was duly granted on the 25th September 1917, into the Durham Light Infantry. As a newly minted Second Lieutenant he returned to France to serve with the 15th Bn DLI, the ephemera in the trunk contains Trench Maps showing German positions and message pads he would have used at this time, plus a nominal Roll of men of his Company. He was Killed in Action on the 24th August 1918 whilst with the 15th Bn and has no known grave. His brother Christopher was three years younger and volunteered his services to the Machine Gun Corps, he served in France from 1917. While the two brothers fought in France, their parents continued to run the family shop, their father Walter died in 1917 and his widow Sarah continued the business. Like so many families the loss of a loved one fighting for King and Country is unbearable, it is only when you see how a despairing mother as in this case, kept every single fragment of her lost son’s life you begin to understand the personal cost of that telegram “Killed in Action”. Christopher survived the war and returned to Marshfield, and placed his tunic in the trunk, with his brothers and closed the lid. Alongside his Mother he returned to the counter of Bodman, Draper and Grocer and helped run the family shop until her death in the 1930’s. On inheriting the business, he pulled down the blinds, bolted the door and closed the shop, preserved as it was the day it closed. The shop would lay dormant through another World War until Christopher’s death in 1983, his last will and testament stating that the family shop must be sold by Public Auction on the premisses. The vendor remembered the shop in the town as a boy, always closed always a mystery. When the Archive went under the hammer he purchased it and it has laid as complete in his care for the last 32 years.
