Military Medal 'For constant devotion to duty between 14th November and 7th December, 1916. Sergeant CLARKE was in charge of a forward Test Dug out on the route between York Trench and Brigade Headquarters at FLERS. His section was, day and night, being continually destroyed by shell ire, but by his sense of duty occupied with determination and disregard for shell fire he was able to secure the routes and thus keep established the cables between Brigade Headquarters and York Trench.'
