Charles Gosling

Brigadier-General Charles Gosling, CMG (June 1868 – 12 April 1917) was a British Army officer.

Charles Gosling, born in Offley, Hertfordshire,[1] in June 1868, was educated at Eton College.

Almost two years later, after the British entry into World War I in the summer of 1914, he led the battalion to the Western Front.

[2] His wound must have healed relatively quickly as he returned to the Western Front in May where, promoted to the temporary rank of brigadier general, he took command of the 7th Infantry Brigade, "which he commanded for twelve months" until he was again wounded in battle, this time severely, in May 1916.

[2][6] In December 1916 he again returned to France and, after again being promoted to temporary brigadier general,[7] was given another brigade to command, this time the 10th.
