Title: Obituary of Eric Aylmer Goldney Snell

Description: Major Eric Aylmer Goldney Snell, who was killed on November 16th, 1917, in German East Africa, was the only son of Dr. G. Snell, late of the Colonial Medical Service. He was born in 1892, and was educated at Bedford School, whence he entered the Royal Military College. In 1912 he was gazetted to the Bedfordshire Regiment, and in 1914 was appointed to an Assistant Commissionership in the Uganda Protectorate. On the outbreak of war he was posted to the King's African Rifles, and was on active service up to 1916, when, on account of his knowledge of the Arabic and Swahili languages, he was sent with a party of natives in search of recruits. He was promoted Captain in the Bedford Regiment in 1916, and temporary Major in the King's African Rifles in August, 1917. He was three times recommended for mention in dispatches by his Commanding Officer, and this was given effect to in the London Gazette of March 27th, 1918. —The Times.
