13th MOBI Intake
July'62 to July'74
HMAS Nirimba - HMAS Melbourne - HMAS Cerberus - HMAS Tarangau - HMAS Lonsdale - HMAS Tarangau - HMAS Nirimba - HMAS Brisbane

The only information I could find was:

Bernard Chatfield CLARK, R42038
He was a member of the 1st Intake (Jul 56)



He trained as an EA and was an EA4 in 1965, before being promoted to a SLt (L) in 1966. Most of his postings to that point were between Cerberus, Penguin and Watson. The only sea posting I could find was Melbourne 62-64.

He re-engaged when he was promoted, but no further info was recorded after 66.

Sorry to see another pioneer MOBI leave us.

RIP Bernard
