Charlie was criticized for not going to War on behalf of his native country England., he actually received mail with white feathers in it (a sign of a coward). He actually presented himself for the draft but turned down due to his size. The British government felt he could do more service by these rallies, they raised millions of dollars to help the cause. Charlie’s film “Shoulders Arms” was loved by returning soldier.
