EDGAR BRACE , Lieutenant - Colonel Percy Archer Clive , M.P. for the Ross Division of Herefordshire , has been killed , says Tuesday night's " Evening Standard . " Lieutenant - Colonel Clive , who was 45 years of age , entered the army in 1891 and served in West Africa in 1898 , being promoted cap- tain the following year . He also served in the South African campaign . In 1900 he was elected M.P. for Ross Divi- sion of Herefordshire without opposition , but at the 1906 election he was defeated by Colonel Alan Gardner , a Liberal , by a majority of 312 . In 1908 , on the death of Colonel Gardner , Lieutenant - Colonel Clive won back the seat for the Liberal Unionists by a 1,019 majority , and he has retained the seat ever since . He was Parliamentary private secretary to Mr. Austen Chamberlain when he was Chan- cellor of the Exchequer . During the present war he had been mentioned in despatches , awarded the Legion of Honour , and had been twice wounded . LIEUT . W. P. CLOWES KILLED . It is with very keen regret that we have to announce that Lieutenant W. P. Clowes , son of Colonel P. L. Clowes , C.B. , and Mrs. Clowes , M.B.E. , of Burton Court , was killed in action on March 30th , in France . The sad news created a deep impression in Leominster and district and the greatest sympathy has been evinced with the bereaved parents who are held in high esteem throughout the county . 20 Lieutenant W. P. Clowes , Sth Hussars , was rears old last January , being born when his father was in command of that Regiment , in which his great uncle , Major G. Clowes , also served during the Crimean War . He was educated at Wellington College , entered Sandhurst in May , 1915 , and was gazetted to the 8th ( King's Royal Irish ) Hussars on August 9th , 1915. He served with the oth Reserve Regiment of Cavalry in Dublin and in the West at the time of the Irish Rebellion . He went to France in July , 1916 , and was at first attached to the Machine Gun of the 6th Cavalry Brigade in the Thiepval portion of the . line , was shortly afterwards transferred to the He who was killed in action on March 30th in Machine Gun portion of the Amballa Brigade , Palestine .
