Notes

At the age of 13 Sandy was chosen as the world's best boy rider at the Horse of the Year Show at Olympia, London.

Betty's Cafe in York was the haunt of many soldiers stationed in Yorkshire. Many wrote their names on a mirror inside. Amongst the names was: "Sandy Carlos-Clarke, 23rd Hussars".
