Major Andrew Johnston Snaddon
The remains of Major Andrew Johnston Snaddon of the 4th Canadian Infantry Battalion were discovered some time after the battle, as they are recorded on the Grave Registration Form on November 22, 1920. As shown in the attached image, the grave of an unknown Major or the Canadian Expeditionary Force was found at a location marked as Map 57c Sector M Sub-Sector "b" at grids marked by the intersection 4.5 and 2.5 (57c M14 b.45.25). These remains were believed to be those of Major Snaddon and they were reburied in Plot 5 Row C Grave 27 at the Adanac (Canada backwards) Military Cemetery north of Courcelette and east of Le Sars, France (57d R14 a.3.4 or GPS 50°4?27?N 2°44?40?E). The 4th Canadian Infantry Battalion was involved in the Battle of Ancre Heights at that time, in action at Regina Trench. They were attempting to place a block in the trench to prevent the enemy from moving back down the section held by the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF).
