Fredrick Ambrose Clarke
British Army Leicestershire Regiment
from:Braunston, Leicester.
My Grandfather Fredrick Ambrose Clarke 1893-1974 joined the Leicestershire Regiment in 1914. I have no idea what battalion etc. except that I know he served in France in the trenches. Family history recalls that upon his arrival home at the end of the war he went into the garden and burnt all his medal and also his "cap" that he was given upon playing rugby for England Boys. He refused ever to speak of his time in the army. I have one regimental photo of 27 men including an officer, what is interesting is 4 of the men are holding puppies.
If anyone has any information pertaining to my grandfather I would love to hear from them.
