In 1901, at the age of 15, Lark joined the Imperial Cadet Corps in Dehradun, India. He excelled in his training, demonstrating exceptional leadership skills and military prowess. Upon graduation, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the 15th Lancers (Cureton's Multanis),a renowned cavalry regiment of the British Indian Army.
Service in the First World War
With the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, Lark's regiment was deployed to the Western Front. He distinguished himself in battle, leading his troops with courage and determination. In the Battle of Loos in September 1915, Lark displayed extraordinary bravery and leadership under heavy enemy fire, earning him the prestigious Military Cross.
However, Lark's greatest act of heroism came during the Battle of the Somme in July 1916. While leading a charge against enemy trenches, his horse was shot from under him, and he was surrounded by German soldiers. Despite being outnumbered and wounded, Lark refused to surrender. Instead, he fought back with unwavering resolve, killing several enemy soldiers before being rescued by his comrades. For his exceptional valor, he was awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest military honor for gallantry in the British Empire.
