Son of Roland Monroe and Mattie Gordon Fowler. Clyde's parents received the following letter from Lieutenant Colonel Thomas M. Barton: "William Clyde was a member of a patrol responsible for the security of a main supply route to the front. The vehicle in which he was riding was ambushed by enemy soldiers and Clyde died with three other comrades in the ensuing encounter. As a member of this command, Clyde was liked by all his associates. He was an excellent soldier, performing all tasks assigned to him in a cheerful and efficient manner, thereby winning the commendation of his immediate superiors and the respect of his comrades. News of his death comes as a real shock to all of us who knew him and his loss will be felt greatly in the organization. Memorial services were held for Clyde Feb. 4, 1951, and were attended by many of his comrades. He was interred in United Nations Cemetery in Korea. I sincerely hope that the knowledge that your son was an exemplary soldier and died while in the service of his country will be of some consolation in your bereavement."
