Today we remember …

11th May 1915.  Montagu Clarke, B Social, 1907. Killed in action near Ypres. Aged 21.  Monty Clarke left Radley in 1911 to attend Sandhurst.  In 1912 he received his Commission in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.  It is unusual to find a civilian photo in the War Memorial Albums, particularly for a young career soldier.
