My name sake Charles Warner aged 20, my great Uncle, served with the 2nd/6th btn Manchester regiment, ****ed on the the 21st March 1918 during the first day of the 1918 German offensive. His body was never found, and he is remembered on the Pozieres Memory, in the company of many brave Australians who lost their lives at Pozieres and the battles of the Somme. I did not know he existed, his brother, my Grandfather,never talked about him, I can remember when I was a young boy that it was mentioned that my Grandfather lost a brother during the Great War, but never was told his name was Charles. I discovered he existed only when I was doing the family tree and saw him on the 1911 census, and not knowing he ever lived checked the Commonwealth Graves web site to find out he did not survive the Great War. I remember his sacrifice
