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.
Commemorating and remembering the lives of the men and women of Chailey, Sussex during the Great War 1914-1918 and remembering too the sick and wounded soldiers nursed by Sussex 54 VAD. This is their story.

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.
