Private Charles Weaving (19525) of the Wiltshire Regiment who was killed in action on the 7th October 1918 at the age of 35 was my Great Grandfather. This is the only photograph I have of him and I believe it was taken around the time he enlisted, possibly 1915. Born in 1882 he married Annie Elizabeth in 1902 (left), the other woman in the photograph is his mother-in-law, whom I only knew as Mrs Deacon. My father William Charles Weaving (1909-1979) who stands between his mother and Grand Mother, and to the right is his twin brother Charles ‘Chug” Weaving (1909-1996). My Great Grandfather was one of 11 children; and I believe his older brother Alfred William Weaving (1862-) may have enlisted at the same time and served with the same regiment. Janet Ford
