Other information

He was the brother of Auxilier David Clark. They both lived at Willow Hall Cottages, Woodham Walter when they joined the Auxilliary Units but by the time the Units were disbanded they were actually living next door to each other at Brook Cottages, The Dip, Tom Tit Lane, Woodham Mortimer, Essex.

With the differences in their ages, when Leonard joined the Patrol, David had already married and moved to Brook Cottages, Woodham Mortimer. This explains why two brothers joined the Patrol but neither knew that the other one had. Also having signed the Secrets Act neither of them spoke about what they did.
