Yes I am looking for my grandfather Charles Alfred Vernon. or he often
wrote Charles A Vernon.

The Public Record Office in Kew, London may have his details,
particularly if your grandfather was wounded.

However, as these records are not on-line, this will mean a personal
visit, unless you can find an agent who can do the searches for you.

Such agents do exist but I've no idea how to find one. Or what they
charge.

There are several Charles Vernons in the 1901 Census which is on-line
at

www.pro.gov.uk/

Middle names cannot be included in the searches but you could narrow
it down if you know his approximate Date or Place of Birth.

There's a charge after the initial search.
