Charles Martin enlisted at In The Field (Torquay). He was killed in action on 14th November 1915. On that date the 2nd Battalion Devonshire Regiment formed part of 23rd Brigade, 8th Division. His death came at a relatively quite time for the battalion, which lost just 14 men killed and 56 wounded during the period 19th May to 31st December 1915. The battalion spent most of this time out of the front line, which accounts for the light casualties, though many officers and men from the battalion were specially employed during this period, training other units and giving the officers and men from them front line training in trench war tactics.
