Clive Holman graduated from Dulwich College and joined the Army soon after War was declared, as did his two older brothers and a sister (as a nurse.) This information is from the Dulwich College Register. "Holman, Clive Whelpton,b.12 August 1896. Great War, Pte Publ. Schs. Bn. Middlesex Regt, R.N.Div., Dardanelles. Leading Mechanic, R.N.A.S. (rigid airships)".
His name is listed as crew of the R-29 flying out of Howden Base in Yorkshire. The R-29 attacked and sank the German U-boat UB-115.
After the War, Clive Holman emigrated to B.E.A. (Kenya), then in 1931 to Canada where he lived until his death in July 1980. He still had a piece of a metal girder from an airship which burned in its shed in 1918, and of a plywood girder dismantled at Howden. He was fascinated by airships.
