While fighting for his country in Summitt, France, Robert was shot to death by a German snipper in July 1918, almost at the end of the war. Taylor Parsons also of Trout River, was defending his country on the same battlefield. The authorities called on Taylor to identify the body of his friend, Robert. Taylor was left to inform Charles, who was in the hospital being treated for shrapnel wounds, about his brother, Robert's death. After recovering from his wounds, Charles returned to the battlefield to continue fighting for the freedom. He rem ained in England until the end of the war. Charles Hann was left disabled for life because of his wounds. He vowed that he would seek revenge for his brother's death by executing every German that fought in World War One. At the end of the war, Charles and Taylor returned to Trout River. At the age of 74 Charles died due to complications arising from his old war wound.
