2Lt. Joseph Snee MC.
British Army 25th (2nd Tyneside Irish) Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers
from:Sulcoates, Yorkshire
My great granddad, Joseph Snee, served in the Territorial Army pre WW1 and by the start of the war he was a Sergeant. He enlisted with 4th East Yorkshire Regiment in 1910 and he went to France on 17th of April 1915.
He was admitted to the Canadian Field Ambulance on 30th of April 1915 suffering from a gun shot wound to the back. He was admitted to hospital at Rouen on 2nd May and returned to the UK on the 6th. He was then commissioned to Northumberland Fusiliers on 23rd of January 1916. He was appointed 2nd Lieutenant on 20th of October 1916. His MC was gazetted on 18th July 1917.
From what I have found out on line he died in 1967 in Lewes, Sussex, England. Sadly, I have no photos of him as his military paperwork and MC has been lost or destroyed, all I have found out has been from on line records.
