Pte. Harry Craven Snaith
British Army 1/5th Btn. York and Lancaster Regiment
from:Lees with Crossroads
(d.13th Oct 1918)
My great uncle, Harry Craven Snaith was in the Royal Flying Corps at RAF Yatesbury in 1917 but was enlisted into the Army and sent to France in 1918 with the 1/5th Yorks and Lancs.
He was at Haspers in October 1918 and went over the top at 6.00am on the 13th October, by the end of the day the goal had not been taken and 50 to 60% of the 1/5th battalion had been killed, including Harry.
