Charlie Monteath “was born in Dumbarton, Scotland in 1886. After the death of his parents he migrated to Western Australia and resided at 99 Alma Street Fremantle. He joined the newly-formed Caledonian Soccer Club in 1913 and was one of the 14 members of Callies who enlisted en masse at the end of the season in 1915. Charlie served in France with the 51st Battalion in 1916 and in 1917 transferred to the 13th Australian Field Ambulance. On 3rd March 1918, he was severely wounded in the abdomen during the Australian Army’s familiar defeat of the German Army at Villers-Bretonneux. He died later that day.”
