A newsagent from Moonee Ponds, Victoria prior to enlistment, Pte Clarke embarked with the 6th Reinforcements from Melbourne on HMAT Ulysses on 27 October 1915. Later transferring to the 7th Battalion, he was wounded in action on two separate occasions. Subsequently developing chronic bronchitis, he returned to Australia on 9 February 1919.
