Charles Nathaniel Sansom was born Lyme Regis, Dorsetshire on 23 April 1887 and entered the Royal Navy as a Boy 2nd Class in March 1905. Having then been advanced to Able Seaman, he purchased his discharge in September 1911, when he enrolled in the Royal Fleet Reserve.

Recalled on the outbreak of hostilities in August 1914, he served aboard the battleship and guard ship H.M.S. Illustrious until the year's end and, thereafter, appears to have removed to the submarine branch, with appointments in Dolphin and a short seagoing appointment in the E. 52 towards the war's end. He finally came ashore in March 1919; sold with copied service record.
