		Clyde returned to Washington after the funeral, but sent his surplus earnings home to his mother instead of spend- ing them on field work.
		He went on to say that she drank coffee all the time; one had the distinct impression that if his mother had remembered to tell Clyde at 21 that it was all right to drink coffee now, he might have taken up the habit.

		The Clyde Walkway is a 40-mile walking route which is being developed to link the centre of Glasgow to the Falls of Clyde at Lanark, via the Clyde Valley.

		Under the guidance of Commander Unwin, the SS River Clyde, an old collier, was prepared for landing thousands of troops on 'V' Beach, Seddul Bahr, Gallipoli.

		As the River Clyde grounded, the lighters that were to form the bridge were run out ahead, and the troops began to pour out of the holes in her sides and down the gangways; but the lighters failed to reach their proper stations.
