Charles George Robert Moll (1913 &#8211; 1943)<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-1\"><p>Charles George Robert Moll was born at 2 Troughton Road in Charlton on 28 May 1913 and baptised at Christ Church, Greenwich, on 15 June. He was the only child of Charles Moll, a cable machine driver from Greenwich, and his wife Beatrice Alice (n\u00e9e Bryant). He married Kathleen Tring in London in 1937 and, by 1939, was living at 14 Blenheim Gardens in Brixton, where he worked as a motor driver for the Royal Mail. His parents had moved to Meadowview in Wrotham Heath when Charles enlisted with the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve and were living there when he went missing in August 1943. Charles had joined No.230 Squadron &#8211; a flying boat squadron that, by January 1943, had returned to the Indian Ocean from the Mediterranean, with its main base at Dar-es-Salaam, Tanganyika and detachments on Madagascar. 1263484 Sgt. C Moll was amongst those based on the latter and died when the Sunderland aircraft he was flying in crashed in the Mozambique Channel on 20 August 1943.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Platt War Memorial, Charles&#8217;s life is also commemorated on the Alamein Memorial in Egypt. At the time of his death, his wife was living at 82 Fairfield Drive in Wandsworth. She never remarried and died in 1981.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":59,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1539","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/plattmemorialhall.org\/warmemorial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/plattmemorialhall.org\/warmemorial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/plattmemorialhall.org\/warmemorial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/plattmemorialhall.org\/warmemorial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/plattmemorialhall.org\/warmemorial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1539"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/plattmemorialhall.org\/warmemorial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1539\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10453,"href":"http:\/\/plattmemorialhall.org\/warmemorial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1539\/revisions\/10453"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/plattmemorialhall.org\/warmemorial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/59"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/plattmemorialhall.org\/warmemorial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
