He was [[Posthumous recognition|posthumously]] decorated with the Victoria Cross following his actions in the [[Battle of Passchendaele]] during the [[First World War]], in which he led several parties of men in an attack that eventuated in the capture of six machine guns and sixty-five prisoners, before being killed himself by machine gun fire.

Born in a suburb of [[Newcastle, New South Wales|Newcastle]], [[New South Wales]], Jeffries was employed as a surveyor at a mining company where his father served as general manager following his completion of school. Joining a militia battalion in 1912, he was commissioned as a [[second lieutenant]] upon the outbreak of war and tasked with the instruction of volunteers for the newly raised [[First Australian Imperial Force|Australian Imperial Force]]. Transferring into the Australian Imperial Force himself in 1916, Jeffries embarked with his battalion for service on the Western Front. Wounded at Messines, he was promoted to captain before being killed fourteen days short of his twenty-third birthday.

On 12 October 1917, the 34th Battalion&mdash;as a member of the [[9th Brigade (Australia)|9th Brigade]]&mdash;was to take part in the [[3rd Division (Australia)|3rd Australian Division's]] attack on [[Battle of Passchendaele|Passchendaele]], Belgium. Subject to several days of heavy rain, the battlefield had been transformed into a boggy marsh on which the attack was to commence. Jeffries was to command B Company during the attack, which he halted at the entrance to Broodseinde railway cutting, as many of the direction tapes leading to the starting position had been destroyed or swallowed in the mud. To avoid any mishaps, Jeffries and another of the battalion's company commanders, Captain T.G. Gilder, pushed on alone as far as Keerselaarhoek cemetery to find the tapes marking the battalions starting line for the attack. Thus, by 03:00 the 34th Battalion was formed up on the line of attack.<ref>{{Harvnb|Snelling|2000|p=227}}</ref>

At the designated time of 05:25, the British opened up with an artillery barrage on the German positions just as the Australian forces entered [[No man's land|no man's land]] for the attack. Heavy [[machine gun]] fire assaulted the troops from all directions as they bunched together on the firmer ground to avoid sinking in the boggy mud. Serious resistance was encountered at Hilside Farm, a strong point to the east of Augustus Wood in the centre of the highest part of the Passchendaele ridge. The position consisted of two [[pillboxes]], supported by fifty meters of trench which was occupied by approximately thirty men with four machine guns. The fire from these machine guns forced the men of the 34th Battalion to seek cover on the exposed crest and threatened to halt the entire advance.<ref>{{Harvnb|Snelling|2000|pp=227&ndash;228}}</ref>
*[[History of the New York Yankees]]


==Notes==
Jeffries, realising his force was suffering heavy casualties, quickly organised a bombing party of fourteen men and set about outflanking the pillboxes. Accompanying Jeffries was Sergeant James Bruce, a 39-year-old [[Scotland|Scottish]]-born miner who had worked for Jeffries' father at the Abermain Collieries. According to popular legend, Bruce had promised to look out for his boss's son, and remained at Jeffries' side throughout the attack.<ref name="VCs228">{{Harvnb|Snelling|2000|p=228}}</ref> Working around the position, the party attacked the emplacement from the rear, capturing four machine guns and thirty-five [[Prisoner of war|prisoners]]; thus reviving the advance. Jeffries then led his company forward under heavy artillery and machine gun fire to reach their first objective.<ref name="AF"/>

==References==
Despite the heavy losses which left gaping holes in the Allied line, it was decided that the next stage of the advance was to go ahead. At 08:25, parties from the 34th and 35th Battalions headed out along the south-eastern edge of the ridge towards the outskirts of Passchendaele. Almost immediately, they came under heavy fire from a pillbox close by a railway embankment, at which time Major J.B. Buchanan, the senior brigade officer with the advance party, fell dead, leaving Jeffries to assume control. Gathering a party of eleven men, he set about silencing the machine gun position. Edging across the open ground, the party attacked the position from the west just as the machine gun was firing to the north. Realising that an attack was imminent, the machine gunner switched around, mortally wounding Jeffries in the stomach and sending the rest of the party to ground. When its fire eased, the remaining members of the group worked around the position, rushed it and seized two machine guns in conjunction with thirty prisoners.<ref name="VCs228">{{Harvnb|Snelling|2000|p=228}}</ref>

With the second objective only partially captured, the remnants of the 9th Brigade, battered by artillery and machine gun fire, were forced to relinquish their position and retreat back to their own lines. All that remained on the Passchendaele ridge of the 9th Brigade was the dead and wounded, among whom was Clarence Jeffries, who was later counted among those with no known grave.<ref name="VCs228"/>

[[fr:Saisons des Yankees de New York]]
His Majesty the KING has been graciously pleased to approve of the award of the Victoria Cross to the undermentioned Officers, Noncommissioned Officers and Man:—
[[ja:ニューヨーク・ヤンキースの年度別成績一覧]]

Capt. Clarence Smith Jeffries, late Australian Imperial Force.

For most conspicuous bravery in attack, when his company was held up by enemy machine-gun fire from concrete emplacements. Organising a party, he rushed one emplacement, capturing four machine guns and thirty-five prisoners. He then led his company forward under extremely heavy enemy artillery barrage and enfilade machine-gun fire to the objective.

Later, he again organised a successful attack on a machine-gun emplacement, capturing two machine guns and thirty more prisoners.

This gallant officer was killed during the attack, but it was entirely due to his bravery and initiative that the centre of the attack was not held up for a lengthy period. His example had a most inspiring influence.}}

[[Image:VCClarenceSmithJeffriesGrave.jpg|thumb|Clarence Jeffries grave in Tyne Cot Cemetery]]

Severely affected by the unknown fate of his son's body, Joshua Jeffries set out for Belgium in 1920 in an attempt to discover his son's "lost grave". He returned to Australia disappointed, only to learn in January 1921 that Clarence's body had been exhumed from a battlefield grave on 14 September 1920,<ref name="VCs230"/> and re-buried in [[Tyne Cot Cemetery]], Plot XL, Row E, Grave 1.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=463369|title=Jeffries, Clarence Smith|accessdaymonth=20 September|accessyear=2008|publisher=Commonwealth War Graves Commission}}</ref> The body had been identified by a set of captain's pips, Australian numerals and the penciled initials "C.S.J." found on the ground sheet in which the body was wrapped. Three years later, Joshua Jeffries returned to Belgium once again; this time to pay his last respects to his son. As a debt of gratitude to the late Lieutenant James Bruce [[Military Cross|MC]], [[Distinguished Conduct Medal|DCM]], who as a sergeant had assisted Clarence at Passchendaele before being killed himself on 17 July 1918, Joshua employed Bruce's two eldest sons as trainee mining surveyors at the Abermain Collieries.<ref name="VCs230"/>

Following a campaign by the citizens of Abermain, the ''Capt. Clarence Smith Jeffries Memorial Park'' was established in 1947, and upon Barbara Jeffries death in 1964, she bequeathed her son's medals to the Warriors Chapel at Christchurch Cathedral, Newcastle, where they are currently on display.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.warmemorialsnsw.asn.au/Details.cfm?MemNo=166|title=Capt.

Yankee Stadium has hosted Yankees games since 1923

The New York Yankees are a professional baseball team based in the Bronx, a borough of New York City, New York. Also known as "the Bronx Bombers" and "the Pinstripers",[1][2] the Yankees play in the East Division of Major League Baseball's (MLB) American League (AL). In its 108 major league seasons, the franchise has won 26 World Series championships, the most of any MLB team and 16 more than the second-place St. Louis Cardinals.[3] Since 1923, the Yankees have played home games in Yankee Stadium, except for a stint at Shea Stadium from 1974 to 1975 while Yankee Stadium was undergoing renovations.[4] In 2009, the team will move into a new ballpark, which will also be called Yankee Stadium.[5]

One of the American League's eight original members, the club was founded in Baltimore, Maryland as the Baltimore Orioles in 1901.[6] The franchise moved to New York City in 1903 and became known as the New York Highlanders; in 1913, the team changed its name to the Yankees.[7] From 1921 to 1964, the Yankees were the most successful MLB franchise, winning 20 World Series titles and 29 AL pennants. Following an 11-year playoff drought, the club appeared in the playoffs five times in a six-year period and won back-to-back World Series championships in 1977 and 1978. The Yankees won the World Series again in 1996, and in 1998 began a run of three consecutive Series titles. From 1995 to 2007, the Yankees made the playoffs each year; their 13-season postseason streak was the second-longest in MLB history.[8]
