GUNNER WILLIAM CLARK , Royal Garrison Artillery WILLIAM CLARK, St Aubin, Wilson Street, son of Thomas Clark, Bankfoot, was born at Bankfoot, Perthshire, on 20th August, 1877. When he was about four years of age his mother, then a widow, with her family, removed to Perth, and connected herself with St. Stephen’s Church, Mr. Tulloch being at that time minister of the Congregation.

Educated at Sharp’s Institution, Mr. Clark joined the clerical staff at Messrs. J. Pullar and Sons. Although married, he volunteered for the army, and enlisted in the Royal Garrison Artillery.

'He went to France early in 1917 with the 280th Siege Battery. On 1st July of that year - on a Sunday at midnight – he fell at his post at a spot near Wulverghem. He lies buried in Kandahar Farm Cemetery, Neuve Eglise, Belgium.

Married in July, 1907, to Charlotte Baxter, he had two sons, one of whom born after he left Perth, it was never his joy to see. He left behind him a gracious and pleasant memory, being much beloved by all who knew him.'
