Sgt. Henry Clarke MID

British Army 14th Siege Battery Royal Garrison Artillery

from:Bawdeswell, Norfolk.

Henry Clarke was my Great Uncle. His parent's were George Christmas Clarke and Lucy Brown. They was born in Bawdeswell in Norfolk. He served in Gallipoli then onto France. He did 8 years and and 350 days. Certificate of Discharge number 1405766. He enlisted in Norwich, Norfolk. He received The Star & the French bravery medal Croix-d-Guere. Mentions in Despatches British War Victory Medal. Henry also served in 15/16 Fire Command R.G.A. Regiment number 33629. He served for a Reserve for a short time and looks as if he came out of the Army in 1922. I was told that he was awarded the French Medal and was kissed on both cheeks, which at the time he did not approve of. I have one picture of him but I wish I had a photo of him in his army uniform. I just would like him to be remembered by all, as many of them also deserve.
