Biographical Notes: Page 8

Clifford, Charles L(ewis) (1890-1991) (items) (chron.)

Born in Boston in 1890, Clifford rose to the rank of Colonel in the U.S. Army becoming Commanding Officer of the 2nd Filipino Infantry Regiment in 1942. He wrote several books and stories about the Philippines including The Real Glory (1937) which was made into a film starring Gary Cooper & David Niven in 1939. The film seems also to have been based in part on Jungle Patrol (1938) by Vic Hurley which had led some to suggest that Clifford was actually a pseudonym for Hurley. Clifford died in New Jersey in 1991.
