IN MEMORy by Pierre Vandervelden

The visit of Commonwealth graves in Communals Cemeteries & Churchyards in Belgium & France

MUNICH TRENCH British Cemetery (Beaumont Hamel) (Somme France)

Pte Charles Henry Fewtrell 05/01/1917 aged 26
Charles was born on 08/12/1890 at Hingeston Street, Birmingham, the second of three children (sister Lucy May b.1889 and William b.1899) of parents Harry an engine driver and Ester Fewtrell (née Ellis).
The family had moved from Hingeston Street to Heaton Street in All Saints, Birmingham by 1901.
Some ten years later the family was still living in Heaton Street where Charles is recorded at working as an electric meter builder at Messrs. Chamberlain and Hookham, part of the General Electric Company.
Charles entered the theatre of war on 27/07/1915 in France, landing at Le Harve.
In late 1915 he was involved in the Battle of Loos and a number of Battles of the Somme during 1916.
These included the Battle of Albert, the capture of Mametz, Battle of Bazentin Ridge, the attack on High Wood and the Battle of Guillemont.
His medical records show that on 01/02/1916 Charles was admitted to the 2nd General Hospital at Le Havre and transferred, the next day, to Hospital Ship St Denis for treatment.
The winter of 1916 saw weather and ground conditions forcing a halt to the British advance on the Somme and while the battalion was preparing for operations on the Ancre river, Charles was killed by a sniper on 05/01/1917.
The Diary entry for that day says that around late afternoon ‘Hope Post’ was surprised and taken by the Germans, casualties included 2 Officers wounded, other Ranks 2 killed, 3 missing believed killed (listing 12582 Pte C Fewtrell) and 9 wounded.
