Title: "Cousin Charles" in uniform and his memorial

Description: In uniform at some time during his war service. Cousin Charles was described as being handsome and charming and all his girl cousins were in love with him. Sadly, he is also associated with the War Memorial at Basra.

Additional: This is my grandmother's cousin. I have been brought up with stories of Cousin Charles, and when I inherited my aunt's belongings, this photo was tucked behind one of my own father, which would indicate it had belonged to my late grandmother.
