Further Information About GREEN Charles Arthur

Awarded Military Cross.  Scholarship to Public School, Bromsgrove and to Worcester College, Oxford University.  Native of Annaur, Gateshead.

Charles Green attended Bromsgrove School from 1911 to 1915.  He was a Monitor, played in the School XV and was a Sergeant in the OTC.  Green was elected to a Cookes’ Exhibition at Worcester College, Oxford.  In January 1916 he joined the Royal Garrison Artillery and proceeded to the Front.  He was awarded the Military Cross, but before the details of the action which gained this were known, there came news of his death; he was killed instantaneously by a piece of shell near his battery at Arras.  In his few months of active campaigning, he justified the reputation for unusual grit; he was described as “an excellent soldier, fearless and brave, and nothing was too much for him to do.”
