Felix G Clarke b abt Nov 1886 in Mississippi

Looking for info on Felix G. Clarke, born in Mississippi about November 1886. He joined the Army in Jun 1908, served in the Signal Corps and was discharged in San Antonio, Texas as a first class Private in January 1911.

On 2 March 1910, at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, Army Lieutenant Benjamin Foulois made the world’s first military flight in an heavier-than-air craft. On the ground, 1LT Foulois was supported by a small group of relatively unknown enlisted men who appear in the few pictures from the time around the event. The soldier listed above was one of these men.

The Fort Sam Houston Museum is trying to put names to images and are looking for pictures of these men. Is this soldier a member of your family? Do you have a picture of him, or stories to tell about his involvement in this event, or his other military service?

If so, please contact Jackie Davis, either through this forum (I can’t access it at work), or better, at jackie.davis@us.army.mil
