‘When he was one of 3 runners during the attack on Pozieres Ridge 4-5 August 1916. The shelling was continuous throughout this period and no words can describe my admiration of the way these three continued to carry messages with cheerfulness and alacrity until the BN was relieved. The most intense fire did not delay them a moment’.

After the war Charles went Jackerooing spending quite some time, between 1919 and 1922, in and around Gidgegannup (this is why he adopted the nom de plume “GIDGIE” when contributing to a column in The Western Mail between the late 1920’s and mid 1930’s). He married Maureena Violette Wood, who was at that time living in Glen Forrest, in October 1921. In 1922 he took up a Soldiers Settlement farm in Lake Grace and became a farmer. Charles and Maureena produced six children over the next 20 years. The Great Depression caused Charles to leave the farm at the end of 1935 and start all over in Perth. In 1936 he settled his family in Maylands and went to night school to study for his basic qualifications and then qualified as an accountant. After working in temporary employment at Foy & Gibson and the Post Office he worked for and eventually became the Company Assessor at the Taxation Office, retiring in 1961. Charles and the eldest of his three sons, Cleveland enlisted in WW2. Charles enlisted on the 15th December 1941 and served just 10 days in the 5 Garrison Battalion before being required in an essential service and being discharged. Charles died in 1991 and his wife died in 1995, both are buried in the Karrakatta Cemetery.
