"... that Brigadier Dudley Clarke, despite having been less than a year old at the time, tried to claim the Queen's South Africa Medal (pictured) for his participation in the Siege of Ladysmith?"

Might need re-wording to say that although aged less than one at the time of the Siege of Ladysmith, as an adult Clarke tried to claim a medal for participation in the Siege.

Todo

As a reminder:

  • 1930's (might be tough, minimal coverage of this period)
  • 1943/44 needs fleshing out
  • Info on his love of the establishment/aristocracy (he wanted to be a quiet part of the higher echelons).
