Capt. Herbert Sidney Snook
British Army 61st Reconnaissance Regiment Royal Armoured Corps
from:Bristol
(d.21st April 1945)
My Father, Captain Herbert Snook, was killed in action in Germany on 21st of April 1945. He is buried in Becklingham War Cemetery, Germany. He joined the Army in February 1930, originally enlisting in the Buffs. His trade on enlistment was as a musician. He was transferred to the Army Reserve in February 1938, and then rejoined the 2nd Battalion in August 1939.
He escaped from Dunkirk in a fishing boat along with survivors from the Destroyer Grenade which had been blown up in the harbour. I have a letter he wrote in July 1940, explaining how he made it back to England. My father was involved in D Day and the subsequent battles across France.
