Allan,
Soldiers Died have Charles being born and enlisting in Birmingham so looked for possible birth dates. Found a Charles Styles born Birmingham March Q. 1895 so looked at 1911 census and found him living at 56 Northwood Street, Birmingham aged 16 and working (silversmith). His parents were John and Emily Styles and at this time they had 6 children, Charles being the second oldest. He had three brothers John 19, Edward 8 and William 2 and two sisters Frances 14 and Mabel 6.
Not sure this will be of any help but could be the Charles Styles you are seeking information on.
Other births for Birmingham, Charles Arthur Styles b. June Q. 1872 and Charles John Styles b. June Q. 1881 though I would think the above more probable.
Regards
Peter
