Clark. He signed his Attestation Paper with the 13th Infantry Battalion \"Royal Highlanders of Canada\" on September 23, 1914 at Camp Valcartier, Quebec, naming his next-of-kin as his mother, Mrs. Joan D. Morphet (formerly Clark) of Montreal, Quebec, stating that he had two years' previous service with the Liverpool Scottish and four months with the Royal Highlanders of Canada in Montreal, that he was not married and that his trade was that of Clerk. The Battalion was raised in Quebec and Nova Scotia with mobilization headquarters at Camp Valcartier, under the authority of P.C.O. 2067, August 6, 1914. The Battalion sailed October 3, 1914 under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel F.O.W. Loomis with a strength of 45 officers and 1,112 other ranks. Six months after arriving in England, he left for the French theatre on April 1, 1915, and three weeks afterwards, was reported \"missing\" on April 22nd at the Second Battle of Ypres. The battle was fought for control of the strategic Flemish town of Ypres in western Belgium in the spring of 1915, following the First Battle of Ypres the previous autumn. It marked the first time that Germany used poison gas on a large scale on the Western Front. Additionally, the battle was the first time that a former colonial force (the 1st Canadian Division) defeated a major European power (the German Empire) on European soil, in the Battle of St. Julien-Kitcheners' Wood. Clark was later reported as a \"Prisoner of War\" at Roulers, Belgium on June 5th, and confirmed as such on July 3rd, hospitalized at Reserve-Lazarett (Reserve Hospital) at Staden, Belgium, with a gun shot wound to his left arm. Clark was a Prisoner of War, having served with \"G\" Company, 13th Infantry Battalion, when he died from his wounds on July 31, 1915, at the age of 21, at the Military Hospital in Roeselare (Roulers), Belgium.

He was assigned to the 19th Depot for two months before joining the 3rd Depot Squadron of the 10th\/12th Light Horse Regiment on November 4, 1915. The 10th Light Horse Regiment was a light cavalry regiment of the Australian Imperial Force and was the only Light Horse unit raised in Western Australia. Early in the new year, he left for overseas service and while in Egypt, fell sick on February 17, 1916 and was admitted to hospital in Cairo, with a case of Influenza. After eleven days treatment, he was discharged on the 28th. He was subsequently transferred to the 3rd Light Horse Reserve on March 5th. He was transferred to the 4th Division Ammunition Column as a Gunner on April 7, 1916 and promoted to Acting Bombardier on April 24th, then reverted back to the rank of Gunner on May 15th.

He was briefly in hospital \"sick\" in mid-June. He was posted to the Trench Mortar School at Butherm, then placed with the 4th Division Ammunition Column as a Driver. He returned to hospital, this time at Boulogne, from mid-September and into October, again with Influenza. He briefly returned to the field but was stricken with sickness again on October 23rd, developing a case of Scarlet Fever. He was hospitalized at Boulogne, then invalided to England and admitted to 3rd London General Hospital on November 3rd. After recovering from his illness, Wells proceeded overseas to France for \"Invicta\" on February 28, 1917, rejoining his unit, the 4th Division Ammunition Column, on March 15th. He was transferred to the 10th Field Artillery Brigade on June 17, 1917, where he managed to avoid injury or sickness for three and a half months. However, he was wounded in action on October 1, 1917, suffering gun shot wounds to the left leg, treated in the field and then admitted to No. 38 Stationary Hospital at Wimereux on October 8th.

Five weeks later, he rejoined the Brigade from \"wounded\" on February 18, 1918. Wells again contracted Influenza and was admitted \"sick\" to hospital while on furlough in England on July 1, 1918, then convalesced at Sutton and Hytesbury through August.

Based out of Hampton Roads, Virginia, it consisted of sixteen battleships divided into two squadrons, along with various escorts. Roosevelt sought to demonstrate growing American military power and blue-water navy capability. Hoping to enforce treaties and protect overseas holdings, the United States Congress appropriated funds to build American sea power. Beginning with ninety small ships, over one-third of them wooden, the navy quickly grew to include new modern steel fighting vessels. The hulls of these ships were painted a stark white, giving the armada the nickname \"Great White Fleet\". Along with three stops in Australia in 1908 (Sydney (August 20-28), Melbourne (August 29-September 5) and Albany (September 11-18)), the fleet also visited Trinidad, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Mexico, Hawaii, New Zealand, the Philippine Islands, Japan, China, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Egypt and Gibraltar, before returning home to Hampton Roads.","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46110020239637,"sku":"W1993","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/img_04_4f32f2c0-c10c-4ca7-8891-b1b58fdfed91.jpg?v=1692843244"},{"product_id":"wwii-new-zealand-shoulder-flashes-w01233","title":"Wwii New Zealand Shoulder Flashes","description":"WWII New Zealand Shoulder Flashes - White wool embroidered capital letters on black wool, reinforced mesh backers, 20.5 mm x 65 mm and 24 mm x 65 mm respectively, very fine.","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46110046814485,"sku":"W01233","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/16_76969cba-3141-4c29-b134-db632fe4ba57.jpg?v=1692843521"},{"product_id":"a-second-war-new-zealand-memorial-cross-unnamed-w2305","title":"A Second War New Zealand Memorial Cross; Unnamed","description":"A Second War New Zealand Memorial Cross - George VI, unnamed.
