A Manx Boy Soldier
"Bertie CLUCAS, the 15-year old son of Mr. A.R. Clucas, manager American Stores, Kimberley, and grandson of Mr Thomas Clucas, Mafeking House, Douglas, was a member of the Army canteen stores, Kimberley Mounted Camp from the commencement of the siege. He feels proud of having served his Queen and country through the ever memorable siege. He is an exceptionally smart, intelligent boy for his age. Manx boys throughout the Island will feel proud of their juvenile compatriot, who looks in kharki and putties a typical Tommy Atkins. He received the Queen's chocolates this week, which gift has made him the proudest boy in the British Empire."
