ArgyllGran Report 27 Jun 2024 09:00

On 15 Oct 1902, the Portsmouth Evening News apparently named him as Charles Joseph Austin (though I'm only looking at a transcription):


A COLOUR-SERGEANT SENT TO GCAL
Charles Joseph Austin, 33. a colour-sergeant in the Hampshire Regiment, was brought up for sentence on charge of stealing letter containing £2l, the property of the commanding officer, Colonel Cyril Godfrey, Aldershot . . .

Published: Wednesday 15 October 1902
Newspaper: Portsmouth Evening News
County: Hampshire, England

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.
