In 1937, he was transferred to Bolton, and after the war, although still a member of Bolton Fire Brigade, he chose to stay in Clitheroe.


He was presented with the Queen’s Long service and Good Conduct Medal In 1955. He also holds the St. John First Aid Medal and three bars and the war-time gas casualty first-aid award of the British Red Cross Society.


Although Mr. Clarke has found it quiet In Clitheroe from a fire-fighter’s point of view, he recalls many hectic days during his service at Bolton when he helped to deal with many big cotton mill fires.


Off-duty he was always a keen bowls player, and still con­ tinues this hobby. He is a member of Clitheroe Cricket, Tennis and Bowling Club.

The sunlight filt'ring through Lho trees,


A raindrop poised on blade of grass,

Much beauty lies in ev’rylhing, That springs from Mother Earth. If man had only eyes to see, And heart to know its worth.
