munchkin Posted 8 November , 2004 Share Posted 8 November , 2004 Hi all, I am researching a soldier called J R Clarke. Mr Clarke joined the KOYLI in 1914, and went to France with them in 1915. On May 7th he received a near fatal head wound. I have looked on the medal index cards online but he is not listed. Also i think he was an officer, although this is not for certain. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Glynn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
