Son of Frederick Tom Blackham (Service No. 484) and Elizabeth Blackham (nee Clarke); younger brother of Frederick A Blackham (Service No. 86642) and older brother of Cyril Charles Blackham (Service No. 535546)
Note that Fred Blackham's attestation shows that he and his mother were at Regina late in 1914, but CWGC shows his parents at Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. Note also that there is no clear evidence that Clarence was also a resident of Regina (although it seems likely) but his name does appear on the honour roll of St Peters Anglican church, Regina.
