An admiral in The Empire of Datrus’ navy. He was born in Cedar Combe and had a very impressive record. Died in the Battle of Wapeboro Deep, the only battle he ever lost.
In the southern half of the South Hill Memorial Gardens is a statue, with a plaque:
Clay Walsh
584 - 660
Here lies Clay Walsh, a royal admiral who called Cedar Combe his home. His fleet
of seventy ships were primarily stationed in East Sunset Bay Harbor. He was well known
for his bravery, and determination. It is said that he never took off his fatigues
and so it was only fitting to bury him in the clothes that he lived in. This statue
was erected over his grave to honour his memory. His long and decorated naval
career spanned more than fifty years, during which he won one hundred sixty two battles
and lost only one, the legendary Battle of Wapeboro Deep. More information about
his death can be found in the Kemany Library under “Wapeboro Deep, Battle of the”.
