Served at Vivid I, Plymouth Hospital, Vivid, Pembroke, Wildfire, Pembroke, Chatham Hosp, Pembroke, Cormorant (Gibraltar Hosp.), Pembroke I, Chatham Hosp., Pembroke I, Edgar, Warrior, Bedford, Yokohama Hosp., Bedford, Pembroke I and finally at Chatham Hospital. His career started when he signed on as a Sick Berth Attendant on the 26th January, 1903 for a 12 year engagement. That he appeared to do but the final entry in his Naval record shows that he was invalided 13th July, 1914.
The death index shows that Sharp, Charles J died in Q1 1915, corresponding with the Masonic Record.

Listed as a "S.B. Std" (Sick Berth Steward) in the contribution register of the Lodge. He was 25 at the time of his initiation in 1910 and aboard HMS Bedford. The annotation on the record shows "Died 9/1/1915." In the margin it also shows "1331," which ordinarily means he became a member of that Lodge. The corresponding entry in Army and Navy Lodge shows that a Charles J. Sharp joined from United Service 1341 - five years after his reported death. There are questions over this, as the later entry shows Sergeant Major, which does not sit will with a Naval S.B.A who was invalided.
