Charles Hunt, London Road,. Chippenham
Wilts Times 16 October 1915
The 1901 census shows Charles and Jane Hunt living at 32 Borough Cottage
with their children Frederick Charles, Florence Ethel, Mary Agnes and
Alfred George. Alfred's age is given as 4 years old. This would make him
19 when he died. However the newspaper report shows his age as 17. The
CWGC does not record his age. I believe that there was a mistake
made in the newspaper report and his age was really 19.
