Sgt. Archibald Ernest Clark MM.
British Army 90th Coy. Machine Gun Corps
from:Odiham, Hants
Archibald Clark was my grandfather who served with the Machine Gun Corps 90th Company.
He was captured in March 1918 in battle and we have a wonderful hand written letter in pencil from his officer, describing how he was 'sorry to lose him as he was one in a thousand'. He hoped that he had been captured as a prisoner and it was indeed the case.
We also have a letter from the King to my grandmother and the official missing telegram from the War Office, Grandad's Demobilisation account dated 19th March 1919 when he collected pay due of £81, 14s and 9d.
