Pte. Frank Clark
British Army 13th Btn. Gloucestershire Regiment
from:Wick, Bristol
(d.24th Sep 1917)
Frank Clark was my grandmother's brother. He worked as a delivery driver for a building company. He was 23 when he died at Zillebeke during the Third Battle of Ypres.
My family and I have been to his grave on 3 occasions at Larch Wood Railway Cutting.
Reading the diaries of the 13th Gloucester Regiment, we believe he was working on tunnelling under Hill 60.
None of his immediate family could afford to see his grave, so we feel privileged to keep his memory alive.
Our grandson has just been called Frank after him.
