A book, with decorative borders by Harry Clarke:

Ireland's Memorial Records 1914-18; vol. 3, DOV to GYV; 8 decorative borders by Clarke, repeated throughout the volume; 384pp, 290 x 200mm; decorated soft wrappers; Naval & Military Press n.d. 1st thus; a reprint of the very rare original edition published in 1923, issued in 100 copies & distributed to libraries only. Each volume contains the same 8 borders repeated, so for the Clarke collector one volume is sufficient to have all the work.

Just found this old email, from when we found out who was:

This evening I have been working on the graves databases. This is something
that I have wanted to do for some time. Remember - I have not yet located
the graves and am not sure that I will. But what I have to tell you is most
interesting, and has only come to light because of all the work that I have
been doing for the property register.

In the church we have a brass memorial plaque to a .
He was "lost in the foundering of the Titanic" and it was placed there by
his wife. To make a boring register more interesting, I looked up on the
website (with a friend because I'm not into this) all the information
referring to . I will put as an attachment what I have
written concerning the couple.

As his name did not appear on the "recovered bodies" list, I assumed that
his body had not been recovered. But on the list of graves that I copied
(drawn up about 1970) is a died 1912, and buried in the
same grave as Harry (died 1951 and Jane I had put him down as - because that was how it was recorded hence he did not appear on
my original information to you. At some point I will need to look this up
in the burial register at Portsmouth City Records.

The attachment is a copy that I have put opposite the photograph of the
plaque. I do not have a scanner so cannot send an image of the plaque. The
wording on the plaque is In loving memory of my dear husband Charles V
Clarke who was lost in the foundering of the Titanic April 15th 1912 Aged
29 years. "In the midst of life we are in death".
