    DICKATY, CHARLES CHRISTOPHER, Private 17707, 1st Battalion, Grenadier
    Guards. Died 16.01.1916, aged 23. Son of John and Essie Dickaty, of Bramdean, Alresford,
    Hampshire. Buried in Merville Communal Cemetery, Nord, France, VI.G.2. (CWGC)
    Died of wounds. (UK, Soldiers Died in the Great War 1914-1919).
    Army Service Record not available.
    “….. deceased …. had been previously wounded at Loos, but had recovered, and was on
    sentry over a machine gun when he was shot through the head and so met with a painless
    death. He was a stalwart and smart young fellow, and from letters which his father has
    received was evidently as popular in his regiment as in his native village.
    Mr Dickaty is himself a veteran and went through the Zulu War with the King’s Royal
    Rifles, from which he retired with the rank of sergeant
    ; he was also granted the medal
    for long and meritorious service. He still has four sons on active service, and a daughter
    is a nurse in a military hospital in Portsmouth. At the outbreak of war he offered his
    services, for which he was thanked, but informed that probably at his time of life he
    would find the duties too strenuous. It cannot be out of place to mention the excellent
    work that he has done since he left the regiment, where he was Sergeant-Instructor
    of Infantry. When the late Lord Roberts advocated the training of young men in the use
    of the rifle, Mr Dickaty started a rifle club, in which he received the cordial support of
    all classes, and up to the present time has continued to teach all who would learn to
    shoot. There are few of the many men who have joined up in this neighbourhood but
    have received his valuable tuition.” (Hampshire Chronicle 26.02.1916)
