Another non-WWII item, but again I think it is interesting. One of the many interesting people buried on Clark is Edward Dumaresq who enlisted in the Confederate Army on 7 September 1861 as a Private and ended the war as a 1st Sergeant. In 1864 he was recommended for the rank of Lieutenant for “distinguished valor” at Sharpsburg. He also engaged in hand-to-hand combat, once wrenching a pistol out of the hand of a Union soldier, forcing his surrender. He eventually made his way to the Philippines where he died in 1901 and is buried in the Clark Air Base Cemetery.
