Charles Freeman was born in Derbyshire on 25 April 1882. He was a plumber.

He enlisted on 9 July 1918, giving as next of kin his wife Lucy, living at Suwarrow Street, Manly; his parents were living in England.

He was a first-class shot, and had been a member of Manly Rifle Club for three years prior to enlisting, but he was not to fire a shot in anger.

He embarked on the Bakaraon 4 September 1918, and returned to Australia on 1 August 1919 on the Argyllshire.
