Charles Randall Moore (b. 1890)

Charles Moore was a telegraph operator and a skilled railway operator in May 1917 when he enlisted for service in the First World War.¹⁾ He was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal. He was anxious to get home after the war and took a raft down the Fiftymile River to frozen Lake Laberge, walked around the lake, and then built another raft to float down the Yukon River to Big Salmon. He obtained a small boat there and made it down to Dawson where he settled into the Great War Association headquarters.²⁾
