Clement was born in 1881 in Paddington, London. He was the third son of Edwin Stanley Green and Mary Ann Green (née White). He married Annie Duncan Munro Nixon on the 21st August 1902. Before the war in 1911 Clement was working as a Bank Messenger.
He joined the 2nd Battalion Oxford and Bucks Light Infantry in August 1915 and after a period of training at Portsmouth proceeded to the Front just a week before Christmas 1915. Since January 1916 he was in Second-Lieutenant's R.M. Barnes' platoon.
Clement was killed filling sandbags between the first and second lines of trenches. A bullet fired at an angle over the front line struck him in the heart and he died within a couple of minutes. He was given a funeral in a village about one mile behind the line with the whole of his section given permission to attend as was his widow's brother who was also at the Front.
