Summary

Transcript version of a diary kept by Sergeant Harold Clark, from his departure from Australia in July 1916 to 19 January 1917, printed as a pamphlet by Scrymgour & Sons, Adelaide. 'Accompanying the pamphlet diary are two official printed cards achieved in manuscript, one recording Harold Clark's death in action on 3-3-17 and his place of burial (Warlencourt British Cemetery; Location Mem. Plot Cross No. 6 Row C; Nearest Railway Station or Town Arras), the other recording the death in action on 24-4-18 of [a cousin] Lance Corporal Andrew Douglas Clark, 43rd Battalion A.I.F. and his place of burial (Bonnay Communal Cemetery, Plot 1 Row B Grave 31; Nearest Railway Station or Town Amiens). The presence of these two cards announcing the cousins' death in action, the printing of this memorial piece in Adelaide, rather than Melbourne where Harold's parents lived, and the pristine state of the piece, strongly suggest that Elizabeth Clarke was responsible for the publication and that this copy descends ultimately from her. The front wrapper repeats the title with some additions: Gallipoli 1916 :: France 1917 / Diary of the Late Sergt. H.E. Clark / Late 27th Battalion A.I.F. / Killed in Action in France March 3, 1917. / He Gave His All - His Life. [From auction catalogue.]

Historical information

'Sergeant Harold Ernest Clark served with the 27th Battalion, seeing action briefly at Gallipoli and in France. A banker by profession, he served for five years in the Port Pirie Volunteer Militia in South Australia. He enlisted in the A.I.F. at Keswick, South Australia, on 29 March 1915, two months after his 31st birthday, listing his mother Ellen Clark of Glenhuntly, Victoria, as next of kin. On 15 April 1915 he was transferred to the 27th Battalion and promoted to temporary Sergeant, an appointment confirmed at the end of August. Lance Corporal Andrew Douglas Clark was Harold's cousin, eight years his junior. A chemist by profession, he enlisted in August 1915 and was appointed to the 43rd Battalion. His next of kin was given as his mother, Elizabeth Clark, who lived at Port Pirie, where Harold also lived prior to enlistment.' [From auction catalogue.].
