George Clarke, National Reserve

Very little is known about this man and his entry in Nurse Oliver’s album does not make it clear whether he was a Hickwells or Beechland House patient. It reads:

Thomas George Clarke N.R

Late 1st Cold Guards

He shares this page with 1218 Private W Brown of the 1/9th Middlesex Regiment, 7480 Private Reginald Pimble of the 1st Gloucestershire Regiment and 3655 Private Martin Donnelly of the 1st East Surrey Regiment.

NR is National Reserve and it seems quite likely that this man did not serve overseas.

George Clarke

Chailey Parish Magazine lists George Clarke only once and that is in a special list of attested men published in April 1916. 

An eighteen year old George Clark appears on the 1901 census of England and Wales living in Chailey and it is possible that this is the same man.
