Share attachments with cloned record

I have an apex controller that im using to clone a record and its related records(deepclone). Im having issues getting the attachments to be cloned with it. Let me clarify, im not wanting to clone the attachments im wanting to share them to the new cloned record. Can anybody help? see code below.
public class SRCloneWithItemsController {

    //added an instance varaible for the standard controller
    private ApexPages.StandardController controller {get; set;}
     // add the instance for the variables being passed by id on the url
    private Service_Request__c sr {get;set;}
    // set the id of the record that is created -- ONLY USED BY THE TEST CLASS
    public ID newRecordId {get;set;}

    // initialize the controller
    public SRCloneWithItemsController(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {

        //initialize the stanrdard controller
        this.controller = controller;
        // load the current record
        sr = (Service_Request__c)controller.getRecord();

    }

    // method called from the VF's action attribute to clone the sr
    public PageReference cloneWithItems() {

         // setup the save point for rollback
         Savepoint sp = Database.setSavepoint();
         Service_Request__c newsr;

         try {

              //copy the Service Request - ONLY INCLUDE THE FIELDS YOU WANT TO CLONE
             sr = [select Id, Opportunity__c, Account__c, OwnerId, Designer__c, Estimator__c, SKNA_Plant__c, Plant_DB_Ident__c, DB_Ident__c, Plant_DB_Ident_Name__c, Plant_No__c, Opportunity_Product__c,Billing_Account__c,Primary_Contact__c,Shipping_Address_Code__c,SKNA_Plant_Executed__c,Customer_Description_Item__c from Service_Request__c where id = :sr.id];
             newsr = sr.clone(false);
             insert newsr;

             // set the id of the new SR created for testing
               newRecordId = newsr.id;

             // copy over the line items - ONLY INCLUDE THE FIELDS YOU WANT TO CLONE

Hi,

Here are few points:
  1. I think you have some confusion on clone function. You can use the clone method of Sobject and here is the reference : https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_methods_system_sobject.htm.
  2. There is no way to clone the entire relatelist with this clone method (even with the deep clone).For relatedlist records, you need to use apex to copy and re-reference with your cloned record.

Thanks

GulshanRaj,
First thank you for the response, second the code works to clone the related records(actually clone them) to a new parent-child set. The only piece not working is the attachments(files).
