If your prepared to spend a bit of money, and you know Charles date of birth you could apply to see if he was on the Scottish 1939 I.D. Register by applying here. https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/statistics-and-data/nhs-central-register/about-the-register/1939-national-identity-register-and-how-to-order-an-official-extract  If they don't find him on the reg. they will charge you £5 for looking the last time I used it.  And it was £15 for the info, when I last got some information from it.  But unlike the Find My Past Reg. it will not reveal anybody else on the register. 

You could also shell out £30 and apply to see if he had an army record.  If no record is found, the £30 will be returned.  You used to wait to up to a year for a record, but it's a matter of weeks these days. https://www.gov.uk/get-copy-military-service-records/apply-for-someone-elses-records

Don't you need the death certificate to get this information  :-\   ???

It is my understanding that proof of death is required. I do not have that information. :(
