He joined the Terra Nova expedition after service on.

He sustained a severe concussion when he fell off an iceberg, while posing for the expedition's photographer Herbert Ponting during the summer of 1911–1912, and was consequently replaced as the shore party's cook for the following year by Walter Archer.
After returning from the Antarctic and subsequent to service in the First World War, Clissold emigrated to New Zealand where he took a job as a vehicle inspector in Napier.
