Major General Walter Edmond Clutterbuck, DSO, MC & Bar (17 November 1894 – 2 February 1987) was a British Army officer who fought during both the First and Second World Wars.

Born in Chippenham, Wiltshire, England, on 17 November 1894, the son of Hardenhuish squire Edmund Henry Clutterbuck and Madeline Charlotte Raikes, Walter Edmond Clutterbuck was educated at Cheltenham College and later entered the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, where, on 17 September 1913,[1] he was commissioned into the Royal Scots Fusiliers of the British Army.

[7] He ended the war having been awarded the Military Cross (MC)[8] and Bar,[9]the Order of the Crown of Italy,[10] was twice wounded in action and was mentioned in despatches.

He was of the utmost assistance to his Brigadier throughout the action, both by keeping him informed by personal reconnaissance of the situation in the firing line, and in bringing up and directing the advance of reserves.

[11] In October 1919, after serving in Russia during the Russian Civil War, Clutterbuck married Gwendolin Atterbury Younger; they had one son and two daughters.

[7] With his battalion, Clutterbuck returned to the United Kingdom in July 1940, ten months after the outbreak of the Second World War, which soon became part of Brigadier Sir Oliver Leese's 29th Independent Infantry Brigade Group.

[19] In late February 1943 the division left the United Kingdom, destined for French North Africa, where, from late April, it was involved in heavy fighting in the final stages of the Tunisian campaign, mainly under the command of Lieutenant General Charles Allfrey's V Corps, part of Lieutenant General Kenneth Anderson's British First Army until the campaign ended on 13 May.
