Early life and familyBorn in Masterton on 24 June 1883,[2] Gillespie was the youngest son of English-born William Gillespie and his Scottish-born wife, Mary.[1][1] On 28 February 1921, Gillespie married Edith May Meyers at St Peter's Church in Wellington.[1][1] Rugby unionA lock, Gillespie represented {{Rut Wellington}} at a provincial level. He played for his province in 1905, but did not make any further appearance for Wellington until 1911. He played just one match for the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, a Test against the touring Australian side in 1913 at Carisbrook in Dunedin.[2] Military serviceGillespie enlisted in the Royal New Zealand Artillery in April 1903. By November 1910 he had attained the rank of bombardier farrier and in November 1914 he was promoted to corporal farrier. Following the outbreak of World War I he became a part of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, going overseas in October 1914. He saw active service at Gallipoli and, from April 1916, in France. In January 1916 he received a commission as a second lieutenant, and he was promoted to lieutenant in July 1917.[3] In July 1917, Gillespie was awarded the Military Cross. His citation read: {{quote|For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in extinguishing burning boxes of ammunition under heavy hostile shell fire. Assisted by two of his men, he worked amidst the exploding shells with total disregard of danger, thereby saving a large amount of ammunition and averting a heavy explosion.[4]}} Gillespie was slightly wounded on 24 October 1917 at Passchendaele, but remained with his unit.[3][2] From November 1917 to March 1918 he held the rank of temporary captain. From April to October 1918 his service was curtailed by illness, first bronchitis and then appendicitis. He returned to New Zealand in early 1919. Following the end of the war, Gillespie remained in the permanent military forces, and was confirmed with the rank of captain in January 1921.[3] He served as adjutant of the 1st Field Brigade, Royal New Zealand Artillery for 12 years, and then as commanding officer of the Royal New Zealand Artillery, Northern Command.[5] He retired with the rank of major after 35 years service in 1938.[3] He was one of the oldest regular soldiers in New Zealand at the time, and one of the last two remaining foundation members of the Royal New Zealand Artillery.[5] DeathGillespie died in Wellington on 22 January 1964,[2] and he was cremated at the Karori Crematorium.[6] His war service was listed as a contributing factor in his death.[3] References1. ^1 {{cite news | url=http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=EP19210303.2.100 | title=Women in print | date=3 March 1921 | work=Evening Post | accessdate=22 January 2016 | page=9}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Gillespie, Charles}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web| url = http://stats.allblacks.com/asp/Profile.asp?ABID=312 |title = Charles Gillespie | last = Knight | first = Lindsay | publisher = New Zealand Rugby Union | accessdate = 22 January 2016}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite web |url=http://ndhadeliver.natlib.govt.nz/delivery/DeliveryManagerServlet?dps_pid=IE20341615 |title= Gillespie, Charles Theodore - WWI 2/263, 1049 - Army |date= |website= |publisher=Archives New Zealand |accessdate=22 January 2016}} 4. ^{{London Gazette |issue=30204 |date=26 July 1917 |page=7651 |supp=y }} 5. ^1 {{cite news | url=http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=NZH19380623.2.153 | title=Artillery dinner: farewell to officer | date=23 June 1938 | work=New Zealand Herald | accessdate=22 January 2016 | page=15}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://wellington.govt.nz/services/community-and-culture/cemeteries/cemeteries-search/details?id=23770&serviceType=Cremation |title=Cemeteries search |date= |website= |publisher=Wellington City Council |accessdate=22 January 2016}} 12 : 1883 births|1964 deaths|Rugby union players from Masterton|New Zealand people of English descent|New Zealand people of Scottish descent|New Zealand rugby union players|New Zealand international rugby union players|Wellington rugby union players|Rugby union locks|New Zealand military personnel of World War I|New Zealand Army officers|Recipients of the Military Cross |
