Captain Charles Francis Ward

[wpf1958]

I am researching Captain Charles Francis Ward of 75th Battery Royal Field Artillery who died on Saturday 15th May 1915, aged 3, and is commemorated on Panel 5 of the Menin Gate. Charles was born on Sunday 20th January 1884, the only son of Charles Ward, FRCS, of Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. He was married with 2 daughters.

I am looking for information relating to his war service that appears began in France on 11th November 1914.

All and any information would be very, very much appreciated.

HI,

Don't know if you've seen the following but there's several links to bits and pieces about him including a photo on at these links…. one's actually from this website from a couple of years ago and the other from the IWM:
