Second World War Private Monument - Ordinary Telegraphist Charles Harry Chamberlain, Royal Navy


"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them".
 
 
Charles Harry Chamberlain was born on 16th October 1923 in Maidenhead to Charles Richard Chamberlain, a carpenter, and his wife Lilian Charlotte Lock.
 
Sometime after the outbreak of World War II, Charles Harry (known as Harry) enlisted with the Royal Navy and began his training as an Ordinary Telegraphist at the H.M.S Collingwood Training Camp.  Unfortunately, Harry was to die that the tragically young age of 18 on 24th August 1942 from illness.
