CLARKS COMMANDOS ADVERT - 1972

This comic strip is actually an advert.
It's for Clarks Commandos, a range of shoes made by Clark, and was published in 1972.
They are described as "action shoes for tough assignments" and the various styles came with added extras such as a mock ammunition box, Commando I.D. card, wall charts, badges etc.
The shoes also had a little recognition symbol in the heel.
Kids like all that kinda stuff of course, and no doubt, many mock battles were fought around town wearing them - just like Kit Carter and chums in the advert strip.
A small group of Dundonians, however, took it a step further a few years later, when in 1980, a band cropped up on the local music scene and were called, yep you guessed it - Clarks Commandos..!!
