'Nobby' Clark, a former Ministry of Defence sergeant who lived in Didcot for nearly 40 years, has died at the age of 87.
Mr Clark enlisted in the Royal Army Service Corps in 1939 and transferred to the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers after being injured by a landmine.
During the Second World War, he served in North Africa and Italy, where he met his wife, Ita. Mr Clark moved to Didcot in 1960 to join the MoD police at the former Ordnance Depot.
He later worked at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Chilton, and as a part-time handyman at Didcot's former Mereland Road surgery.
He and his wife moved to Christchurch, Dorset, in 1992.
