Comments

He died aged 12 days following a premature birth. He was the son of Goscomb Goddard Clarke and Mildred Liu. Goscomb Clarke is described as an ‘ex-police officer’. He reportedly divorced his wife Mildred Liu in Stanley Camp (Source: Greg Leck's List). A note in the Police War Diary states that he was dismissed from Hong Kong Police Service. A second child was born in camp to Goscomb and Mildred in January 1944.

St Johns cathedral Baptism 30 April 1944  Dennis Anthony son of Mildred Liu and wife Casta Goddard Clarke (sic) Carl Smith Card 89705

The Carl Smith card is for Anthony's younger brother Dennis.

A 1944 baptism would have taken place in Stanley Camp, but I guess it was done by the Anglican church and so was listed in the Cathedral's records.
