Jack Clark lived at 3 Duncombe Street, Wollaston, and attended St. James’s School. He volunteered for service in the local Territorials and enlisted in the 1st/7th Battalion. They crossed the Channel on 31st March and entrained for Flanders. They were then stationed near Ploegsteert Wood on a relatively quiet sector of the front.
