Hi
I have recently acquired a group of medals to No 2022 Alfred Snow, Royal Engineers.
He was MID by General White for the Defence of Ladysmith, and I am trying to work out whether this was for the action at Gun Hill on 8 December 1899, or Surprise Hill on 11 December 1899, or Waggon Hill on 6 January 1900.
If any members could help me find a reference to himatn Ladysmith or Talana, or a photo, I would be very grateful !
He was also MID twice in WW!, and died on 1 August 1918 in a bombing raid at the Hotel Dervaux, in Boulogne, France, whiich was used as headquarters.
His medals are:
M.C.
QSA Clasps Talana, Defence of Ladysmith, Transvaal
KSA SA 1901, SA1902
1914 Star
BWM
VM
Army LSGC
