Chris Clark, formerly Police Constable 409 of Norfolk Constabulary came into the world on Christmas Day 1945 the eldest child of Tom and Stella Clark. Dad had joined the Royal Air Force in June 1939 when he was still seventeen. WW2 started in the September and in 1940 he was posted to Bircham Newton in Norfolk where he met my Mum in nearby Stanhoe. The war interrupted their courtship until March 1945 when they were reacquainted and were married at Fakenham Register Office on 13th August with Mum carrying a noticeable bump! It was a few months after the end of the war when I made my appearance and the United Nations Organisation had just been born it was also the start of the trials of Nazi Germans at Nuremberg. I was eventually one of eight children and because of Dad's postings, educated at various schools in Norfolk, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Wiltshire and Singapore. We eventually settled in 1955 at "Excelsior" Brook Road in the village of Dersingham close to Sandringham this is where I completed my education at St George's Secondary Modern at age fifteen. By then I had seen the insides of nine different assorted primary junior and secondary modern schools. After a number of labouring jobs I eventually joined Norfolk Constabulary as a Police Constable in March 1966 and had many diverse roles within the Uniform Branch until my retirement during August 1994.
