CLARK (Rfn. T.B., KRRs) Rhymes of a Rifleman: A Souvenir of the Trenches. 1st. Ed., 64pp., portrait frontis. Nicholson & Sons. nd (c.1918).
Typical 'Tommy' verse including excellent version of 'Never Mind' & others redolent of the lot of the common soldier as well as jingoistic efforts celebrating KRRC VC winners Dimmer & Mariner. Clark served in 4th KRRC, 8th (Stonewall) Brigade, 27th Div., & many verses reflect that. He was in Salonika when the booklet appeared. Orig. blue cloth, rather worn but uncommon
