Pte. James Clark

British Army Warwickshire Regiment

from:Aston, Birmingham

There is a family story that James signed up for the services under age and gave his brothers date of birth. James enlisted on 30 November 1904 and served for 13 years 200 days and was discharged for being no longer physically fit for War Services. His certificate states that he had 6 wound scars on his left leg.

    He served in South Africa 29.11.1904 to 28.11.1906;
  • India 29.11.1906 to 08.11.1912;
  • France 09.08.1914 to 05.06.1915;
  • France 08.05.1916 to 19.08.1916;
  • France 09.06.1917to 07.08.1917.

He received 3rd Class Certificate 21.03.1905 and 2nd Class Certificate 29.04.1912.

I have been unable to find James on the 1911 Census, although I have found his brother, Amos Stephen Clark. Amos was serving with 2nd Battalion North Staffs Regiment in Peshawar NWFP India. He is recorded as a drummer, 24 years unmarried born Birmingham.

I would love to know more about my great grandfather.
