Footnote:- Charles Frederick Clark was born on 16th May 1882 in Somerset. By trade he was a Blacksmiths Striker. Clark joined the Royal Marines at Bristol on 5th November 1900, signing on for 12 years. Clark served on board H.M.S Porpoise and took part in the expedition to Somaliland 1902-04, serving there in 1903. Transferred to the reserves on 5th November 1912, he was recalled to active service on 5th August 1914. Clark landed at Ostend on 26th August 1914, was at Dunkirk and took part in the Defence of Antwerp. He then saw service in the Mediterranean before landing in France in mid 1916. His service papers make mention of an action against an enemy submarine in May 1917 and he was awarded a Mention in Despatches for this action. Unfortunately, this section of his service papers are very faint. Clark survived the war, transferred to the RFR and was awarded an LSGC in February 1922.
