119th Heavy Battery, Royal Garrison Artillery
Little is known of Charles Albert Hall, other than he was born in Cheltenham in 1891 and he enlisted there into the Royal Garrison Artillery, and served with the 119th Heavy Battery. He was wounded during the final advances in the last weeks of the war and was invalided back to the UK. He died of wounds at the Scottish National Red Cross Hospital at Bellahouston, Glasgow on 4 November 1918, age, 27, and was buried in Cheltenham Cemetery, where his grave is marked by a CWGC headstone. He is commemorated on the Cheltenham Town War Memorial.
In late 1913 Charles had married Maud D A Flowers in Cheltenham and the couple had two children. She lived at Furze Cottages, Elmstone, Hardwick, near Cheltenham. Maud appears to have re-married in 1927, to Herbert M Burton.
