Charles served in the 12th Infantry Regiment - Company C. He was the son of William Preston Broom and grandson of Charles M. Broom, Sr. He is buried in the Elmwood Cemetery in Columbia, SC.

In an email from Bill Broom, he states that Charles served with Company B of Lyles Rifles. I have not confirmed this service.

There is a C. P. Broom who signed The Ordinance of Secession. It is unknown whether these are the same men.
