Mark Wayne Clark, General, Army, Retired, was born in Madison Barracks, New York, , 1896. He graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point and was commissioned a second lieutenant of Infantry in April 1917. He was promoted to first lieutenant , 1917, and to captain August 5, 1917.

Soon after he was promoted to captain, General Clark joined the 11th Infantry of the 5th in , where he was wounded in action in the Vosges Mountains. He was assigned next to General Staff Headquarters, First American Army, and participated in the St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne offensives and later served with the in Belgium and .

After his return to the United States in 1919, General Clark was given various assignments including a Chautauqua circuit tour for the Adjutant General Mark W. Clark General of the Army in 1921. He was assigned to the US Army Retired Office of the Assistant Secretary of War from 1921 to 1924. He graduated from the Infantry School at Fort Benning, Georgia, in 1925. He then served three years at the Presidio of San Francisco with the 30th Infantry and from 1929 to 1933 was an instructor of the Indiana National Guard.

General Clark graduated from the Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas in 1935. He then served for a year as Deputy Chief of Staff for the Civilian Conservation , VII Corps Area, at Omaha, Nebraska, before entering the Army War College. Upon graduation in 1937, he was assigned to Fort Lewis, Washington.

1 In March 1940, General Clark became an instructor at the Army War College. The following August he was named Assistant Chief of Staff for Operations of the General Headquarters, U.S. Army; in , became Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army Ground Forces; and in May 1942, was named Chief of Staff of that organization.

General Clark was assigned in as Commanding General of the II Corps in England. The following month he was named Commander of the Army Ground Forces in the European Theater of Operations and in became Deputy Commander in Chief of the Allied Forces in the North African theater.

In those capacities, General Clark laid the groundwork for a vast organizational, housing, and training program in the British Isles and played a leading part in planning the invasion of . In October 1942, shortly before the actual invasion, he made a dramatic and hazardous, but highly successful, trip by plane and submarine from London to French North Africa for a secret rendezvous with a group of French officers to arrange details of the proposed landings.

As Deputy Commander in Chief of the Anglo-American invasion forces, he flew from Gibraltar to Algiers on the day following the landings on , 1942. He immediately took into protective custody Admiral Jean Francois Darlan.

General Clark induced Admiral Darlan to repudiate the Vichy regime and order all French Forces in northwest and west Africa to cease resistance to the Americans and British. This order and the collaboration between the Anglo-American and French forces greatly facilitated the conquest of North Africa by the Allied powers.

In , General Clark was designated Commanding General of the Fifth Army, the first American army to be activated in the European theater.

After weeks of bitter fighting, the American Fifth and British Eighth Armies launched a new offensive on , 1944 forcing a German withdrawal. On June 4, 1944 the Fifth Army captured Rome, the first Axis capital to be liberated from the enemy. Two weeks later the Fifth Army had advanced 100 miles.

2 Early in , General Clark was placed in command of the 15th , consisting of the Fifth (U.S.) and Eighth (British) Armies, and comprising all fighting forces in Italy. He held that command until the close of hostilities in .
