Clarence was probably one of the 12,678 men who died of sickness during the Mesopotamia campaign. His headstone reads: “ While the light lasts, I will remember” Clarence’s brother, Percy Snowden Ahier, is of interest. He was born on 8th January 1892 and joined the liner Oceanic (as a Steward) straight after leaving school. Unfortunately he was one of many people who transferred to the Titanic when that vessel docked in Southampton in April 1912. Percy was taken on as a First Class Steward and alas, did not survive the sinking.
