He left Australia in October on board the 'Ascanius', and marched into France in March 1917. Clarence was killed in action on 3 May 1917 by a shell while attacking a German trench at Bullecourt, France. Information given about him at the time described him as being "of a very jolly disposition, and for this reason was very popular with his mates".
