Dvr. Frederick Montague "Nobby" Clarke
British Army 3/4th Battalion County of London Yeomanry
from:Enfield
My father was a desert rat, and was a lorry driver with 22nd aArmoured Division during the war. He told us an amusing story of how he had acquired some Italian army boots in Italy. Whilst driving his foot slipped off the brake pedal and he collided with the lorry in front of him. It was only a minor collision and the sergeant had a brief chat with my dad, and said "what happened Nobby?" My dad explained about the boots and the sergeant seemed ok with it. Dad heard no more about it until years later when we requested his records and he was annoyed to learn that the Army had fined him a week's pay over the incident.
