When researching the men who died on the War memorial in Addison Road I uncovered a lot of material about other local men that were soldiers in the First World War.
Some appeared in the Parish Registers when they had children baptised or were married, others were listed in the local papers when they received gallantry medals or were wounded.
Many Army service records survived the War and are now available on-line via Ancestry.co.uk. By searching these records by soldier's place of residence, I discovered many more local soldiers and details of their military service.

Will Boxall
Royal Army Medical Corps
I have been contacted by a nephew of Will who tells me that Will saw service in France. He was gassed and invalided out of the army and the damage done by the gas affected him for the rest of his life. Will had to undergo several operations and treatment at the Royal Surrey hospital. The long periods spent in hospital affected Will's ability to earn a decent living and a report in the Surrey Advertiser (date unknown) shows that the residents of Charlotteville organised a Benefit Social for Will and his wife which raised £25 (quite a sum of money in those days).
