Dossier on Capt. Charles Dutton
Capt. Charles Dutton was killed in 1916 (Mark Wareing, the contributor, was the same age when deployed to Iraq in 2004 as a Captain in the Territorial Army). Charles Dutton's father, Richard Dutton, served in the South Africa war. Both father and son were enrolled in the South Staffordshire regiment. Charles Dutton began as a clerk in the Smithwick area of the West Midlands but enlisted in 1904. He was commissioned in the field in 1914. He was killed in action on 29th July 1916, in the Delville Wood at the Battle of the Somme. On the following day his brother George, who later became Major Dutton, took over the command of the company, and his son Leslie enlisted. There is a plaque in his honour in the Garrison Chapel in Whittington Barracks, Lichfield. He is buried at Dive Copse cemetery, in Sailly-Le-Sec.
