Lt Charles E Moulton, 6th Bn, Wiltshire Regt

Lieutenant Charles Eric Moulton of the 6th Battalion, Wiltshire Regiment, was killed in action on the 16th September 1915. He was 26 years old, the son of John and Alice Blanche Moulton, of The Hall, Bradford-on-Avon. John Moulton would have been around 75 years old when his son was killed. He was a JP and seriously wealthy. The 1911 census shows Charles (aged 21) living with his parents, and waited on by a footman, cook, maid, two housemaids and a kitchenmaid. Charles is buried in Brown's Road Military Cemetery at Festubert.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
