Charles Thyge Enevoldson (1896 - 1966)

Charles Thyge Enevoldson was the first of 6 children born to Thyge and Lois. He was born in 1896 according to the records but strangely a recent study of his Army Records details his birth year as 1894.  His Army records show that he enlisted into the West Yorkshire Regiment on 26th August 1914.  He enlisted for 3 years service.  On the Army enlistment documentation it states that Charles was 20 years and 66 days old.  In terms of appearance the records reveal that Charles was just under 5' 8" tall and weighed 126 pounds.  He had blue eyes and brown hair and is described as having a fresh complexion.  He was a fitter by trade.  In October 1915 he was promoted to Lance Corporal.  His regimental number was 10992.

On 8th April 1920 there is a document signed by Charles to acknowledge receipt of the Bronze Star 1914-1915. 

The 1914-15 Star was a campaign medal of the British Empire, for service in World War I.

The 1914-15 Star was approved in 1918, for issue to officers and men of British and Imperial forces who served in any theatre of the War between 5 August 1914 and 31 December 1915 (other than those who had already qualified for the 1914 Star).

Recipients of this medal also received the British War Medal and Victory Medal. Some 2,366,000 were issued.
