The most famous "Clark" of WW2 was Lt-Gen Mark W. Clark.During most of the war he as commanding general of the US 5th Army in Italy. In December 1944, he was promoted to CG of 15 Army Group which was in command of all American and British troops in Italy.
Clark was a graduate of West Point and saw a few days of combat in WW1. He was a captain for 18 years, but at outbreak of WW2, he rose in rank from Lt-Colonel to Major-General in only 18 months--a rise only surpassed by Eisenhower. He was prone to media attention and asked reporters to refer to his command as "Mark Clark's Fifth Army". Many considered him to be egotisitcal but it did make him a well known name. So it is not uncommon for someone today to refer to "Clark" and everyone knows exactly who it refers to.
He wrote two books: "Calculated Risk" about the WW2 years and "From the Danube to the Yalu", about his command experience in Korean War.
