Happy New Year to All... I Am looking for details of Lieutenant George Hubert Wyndham CLARK, 1st Battalion, Welsh Guards.

Welsh Guards—George Hubert Wyndham CLARK (late Cadet, Eton Coll. Contgt., Jun. Div., O.T.C.) to be 2nd Lt. 9th May 1936. 1 WG War Diary - 1941 July 27 Wimbledon Lieutenant G.H.W. CLARK and Lieutenant R.M.D. THESIGER umpires for HOME GUARD Exercise in “P” Zone. ----------------------------------------------------------------- If anyone has any details of Lt Clark and his time with 1 WG, I would be most grateful to hear from them... Many thanks in anticipation Roddy
Have you contacted Diane at her Guards Website? I have the WG History plus a few War Diaries but I'm at Kew until the weekend.
Drew - Diane's website...? ...and I envy you at TNA - I could spend all day, every day in there...unfortunately I do not get there that often... Any help with Lt Clark of the WG would be great - the one diary not on this forum is 1 WG in France 1940... Many thanks again Roddy
I have that and I'll check when I get home, I spoke to Diane and I have the same WG stuff as her so I'll check the Regts history too - have you told the daughter to apply for his service records from RHQ? They arrive a lot quicker than the Army ones and there should be more details will be in them than what you've posted. Andy
