- Charles Maitland Yorke Trotter (8 February 1923 – 8 September 2003) was a British sports shooter and photographer who represented Guernsey and Kenya in both fullbore and smallbore disciplines. Trotter's achievements in rifle shooting made him one Guernsey's most decorated sportsmen. Born in Edinburgh and educated at Elizabeth College, Guernsey, Trotter served in the Royal Engineers during World War II and then in Egypt after the war. After studying photography at the London School of Photo Engraving and Lithography, Trotter established a photography business in Nairobi from 1951 to 1962, achieving considerable success as a commercial photographer in British Kenya. During this time, Trotter represented Kenya at the 1956 and 1960 Summer Olympics. After returning to Guernsey in 1966, Trotter won H.M. The Queen's Prize in 1975, becoming only the second winner of the event from the island. He represented Guernsey in three consecutive Commonwealth Games from 1974, winning a bronze medal in the Fullbore Rifle singles event at Brisbane 1982. (en)
