Notes

There is much confusion over Ronald's identity, not helped by the fact that he was adopted. He is listed in the 23H Story as D. Clark, in the "A" Squadron War Diary as J. Clark, on the "A" Squadron panel in Bridlington Priory as D.J. Clark, on the CWGC website as Ronald A Clark, on the Army Roll of Honour as Donald A Clark and on his headstone as R.A. Clark.
