Thanks Mary, I've added in the extra details to his profile.

Please could you take a look at your comment on Eileen's page: https://gwulo.com/comment/47234#comment-47234 It looks as though you've pasted in Charles's information by mistake.

If you can add any information (memoirs, stories, photos, etc) about their time in Stanley Camp, it will be gratefully received.

Regards, David
