From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Andrew Edmund James Clark, 3rd Baronet, MBE, MC, QC (18 July 1898 – 19 May 1979) was a British Army officer and barrister, described as "the leading advocate of at the Chancery Bar" by The Times.
Andrew Clark was the son of Colonel Sir James Richardson Andrew Clark, Bt. and the grandson of the prominent doctor Sir Andrew Clark, 1st Baronet. Clark was educated at Eton College. He did not proceed to university owing to the outbreak of the First World War. Instead, he was commissioned into the Royal Field Artillery in 1916. He saw service in France and Belgium, and was awarded the Military Cross. He left the British Army in 1921, and according to The Times, "there followed seven years which his biographer would find it hard to document but which certainly enlarged his horizon and experience."
