He was killed in action 6^th April 1917 in France and is commemorated on the Villers-Bretonneux Memorial, France.

His brother Pte Phillip Eric Winter (No 3206) was also killed in action in France 6^th August 1916 and like his brother with no known grave is commemorated on the Villers-Bretonneux Memorial, France.

Rev. R. H. Roberts yesterday afternoon conveyed to Mrs. Winter, of Nietta the sad news that her son Pte. Charles Winter had been killed in action (between the 6th and 10th April. Pte. Winter left Tasmania for the front about eighteen months ago and had seen a good deal of active service. Another son, Pte Philip Winter, has not been heard from for about five months, and the uncertainty surrounding him is naturally adding to the family's anxiety.
