OK. hardly anyone looks to write about these valiant and underrated fellows as I have spent a lot of the day trawling around and finding almost squat.
So, what do those who pass through here know? What would they be issued when clerking? did they print a little manual for them? What were their daily tasks?
The main bits of info I found were from the people's war BBC thing - though their memories tend to be about shenanigans and being wryly amused by things.

You know, I think it's only fair that you should have to ask me to submit paperwork for your medicinal ointments and tobacco ration in real life Nige.

I'm not registered as a clerk. Do they come in 2-tone?
oh god stop
sorry. 
I love my typewriter. 
" This is my Typewriter, There are many like it but this one is mine!!"
"Will you stop talking about the war!!"
"What, you started it!"
"We did NOT start it!"
"Yes you did, you invaded Poland..."
Look after your typewriter and it'll look after you.
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
I saw a bit of film the other day with G Bernard Shaw typing away at my very own typewriter.
Well, I say my typewriter. Thinking about it - it was the same model as mine but couldn't have been the one I possess since mine only types gibberish and GBS's seemed to type lucid and inciteful text... 
yours is more of a TRIPEwriter then chommers?
Haha! Yes.
haha good un Nige
You could always be Captain Clerk!!

our book keeper used to be a company clark in the war. he retired 3 years ago (worked till he was 83, just to pay his council tax 
)
the only story he told me , was when he had to drive a fellow to hospital after he blew his hand off with a mills bomb
he drove him there in the car, then he saw a load of pilots with horrific burns and he threw up and waited outside.
he didnt like talking about the war much though . very quiet fellow, a real gent , and he bought me buiscits every week and somehow cadged it out of the company petty cash 
it was sad to see him go

Goes to prove... Admin Rules the world.
Worked till 83 just to pay his council tax... SICKENING! He should be exempt!
he made the mistake of saving in to a private pension, it paid out only a small amount , but the fact he SAVED FOR HIS OWN RETIREMENT meant that he was eligable to pay council tax at the full rate and that was more than his private pention, so he was worse off for saving up all his life
