Harry Clarke referenceThis letter, sent to the wife of Ben Lane of the South Wales Borderers, refers to a Harry Clarke. It is clear from it that Ben's wife had asked for information about Harry as well as her husband as they both lived in Brecon and were in the same regiment. The date given for Harry's death by the sergeant who wrote the letter, contradicts that given on this site. In fact February 14th was the date of her husband's death - had he got his facts confused?
