Sergeant Charles William Train VC (21 September 1890 – 28 March 1965) was a British Army soldier and an English-born recipient of the Victoria Cross (VC), the highest British honour awarded for gallantry in the presence of the enemy.

On 8 December 1917 at Ein Kerem, near Jerusalem, in Ottoman controlled Palestine, when his company was unexpectedly engaged at close range by a party of the enemy with two machine-guns and brought to a standstill, Corporal Train on his own initiative rushed forward and engaged the enemy with rifle grenades and succeeded in putting some of the team out of action by a direct hit.

After this he went to the assistance of a comrade who was bombing the enemy from the front and killed one of them who was carrying the second machine-gun out of action.

[1] In May 1918, many British units serving with the Egyptian Expeditionary Force in the Palestine campaign were sent to the Western Front.

It was while serving in France that he was presented with the insignia of the Victoria Cross by King George V at Headquarters, 2nd Army, Blendecques on 6 August 1918.
