1947
At
6a.m. on 14th December at 1009 Sauchehail Street,
Glasgow, Clifford passed away at the age of 70. The death
certificate indicates that he had been suffering from bowel
cancer for 4 years and had an inflamed heart for the
previous six months.
Until his death in 2000, his son Philip placed an 'In
Memory' advertisement in the December issue of the stage.
The address is Glasgow is no longer there, but this area was
close to the theatre and properties in this street would
have provided the sort of digs actors would have stayed-in,
whilst working. Was Clifford living in Glasgow, or was he
rehearsing the 1947 pantomime season when he sang his final
farewell?
