No.5770443, Private, Charles William MOORE
Aged 28
|
Charles MOORE was born around 1916. According to the 1939-1945 Army Roll of Honour he was born in SE London. There is insufficient information to identify him as a civilian other than his marriage to Dorothy Stubbings
He married Dorothy Gladys STUBBINGS [3-12-1919](Newmarket Q4-1942) of Cowlinge In the 1939 register Dorothy (single) was at Seven Elms Park Cottages, Cowlinge, with her widower father William STUBBINGS [11-4-1871] gardener's labourer. Not even knowing the forename of his mother, Charles' civilian identity is almost impossible to identify. His widow later married Kenneth J MURKIN (Newmarket Q3-1955) |

The 1st Dorsets lost a great number in the D-Day landing and received reinforcements from many regiments so this may be when he was transferred from the Norfolks. Early August saw them near Villers-Bocage Initially buried in Les Landes, he was re-interred in Tilly-sur-Seulles on 25th June 1945
