Charles Maitland Yorke Trotter (8 February 1923 – 8 September 2003) was a British sports shooter and photographer who represented Guernsey and Kenya in both fullbore and smallbore disciplines.

He represented Guernsey in three consecutive Commonwealth Games from 1974, winning a bronze medal in the Fullbore Rifle singles event at Brisbane 1982.

[4] After his birth, Trotter's mother, a post-office clerk at the time, moved with him to Uganda, where his father was working as a surveyor in the Department of Land and Surveys in the Colonial Service.

He and his family mixed almost exclusively within the British colonial community where they enjoyed a busy social life, captured by his mother, who was a keen photographer.

[5] At the age of six, Trotter returned to England where he attended boarding school,[1] while his parents lived in Nigeria and later undertook a tour of the Caribbean through his father's work as a surveyor in the British Empire.

[5] Establishing a photography business in Nairobi, Kenya in 1951, Trotter achieved considerable success, and his work spanned a broad range of material, including weddings, natural history and news items.

[1] During his time living in Kenya, Trotter represented the nation in the Men's Smallbore Rifle events (Prone and Three Positions) at two Olympic Games – Melbourne 1956 and Rome 1960 – and the World Championships in 1962.

Trotter represented the island in three consecutive Commonwealth Games from 1974, winning a bronze medal in the Fullbore Rifle event in the 1982 edition held in Brisbane, Australia.

[11] In 2001, Trotter gave up active participation in shooting, but remained in his role of President of the Old Elizabethan Rifle Club until his death, aged 80, in 2003.

[1] Trotter's achievements in both smallbore and fullbore rifle shooting make him one Guernsey's most decorated marksmen, and he remains the last Guernseyman to win the Queen's Prize.

[1] He was generally regarded as a calm and mild-mannered character, with his obituary describing him as "a quiet man with a wealth of experience"; "... always eager to hear how other members of the team had performed, but would say little of his achievements".
