We have been fortunate to unearth unpublished material (text and images) to add to our continuing story.

Following publication
BCN received an excellent photograph of Peter from Munich 1958 from David Jarrett which he was kind enough to allow to be included.
Leonard helpfully clarified a query from Bernard which we have added to the text.
Enjoy!
and here is David presenting to Sir Jeremy (who inspired Colin Dexter).

John, I think that Peter Clarke won the Southend tournament in 1957 with 5 out of 5 also beating Penrose - probably one of his best tournament results.

From Bernard Cafferty's entry:
He left the University of London before taking his degree (study of chess rather taking over his life), but then had the good fortune to go on to study Russian while doing his National Service, around 1954-55. Or was he still in the Army when the Moscow 1956 Olympiad took place?
If that had been the case, would he have been allowed to compete?
