After the wedding, he returned to the army where he was shipped to North Africa with his company. He spent the journey in the brig. He served in Europe from the first landings around Casablanca in Nov 1942 until the end of the war. He served in Sicily and Germany. After the war, he worked as an auto mechanic. At one time he worked for Z Frank in Chicago. Later he worked for the City of Chicago Parks Department.
Based upon his army experiences, Clarence had no use for the American Red Cross. He told stories of how they appear with a few donuts, take publicity photos and then leave without giving any donuts to the majority of the troops. On the other hand, he had nothing but praise for the Salvation Army which did their work without publicity.
