Charles Robert Mark Rogerson is believed to have served in the 13th (Home Defence) Battalion of the Queen's Royal Regiment (West Surrey) prior to volunteering for airborne forces at the formation of the 1st Parachute Brigade during World War II.
After completing selection and ground training at Hardwick Hall he was posted to the 3rd Parachute Battalion and attended one of the early parachute training courses run for Brigade personnel in late 1941. He returned to RAF Ringway for the 4th Advanced course in February 1942, which involved night jumps from the balloon and training to jump alongside arms containers from a Whitley.
