| The Light Bob Gazette for June 1925 recalled: A moving incident which changed the history of France is recalled by the death of Mr. Charles Wall, of 17, Charlton Building, Twerton, whose funeral took place with military honours at Twerton Cemetery this morning. Mr. Wall served with the Somerset Light Infantry during the Zulu campaign of 1879, and was one of the party of soldiers who assisted in the recovery of the body of the gallant Prince Imperial, only son of the Emperor Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie, who was ambushed and killed by the Zulu hordes.
Buried Twerton Cemetery, Bellots Road, Bath BA2 3RT, in a common grave. This grave is now unmarked. Grave reference C.J.11
