D.S.M. London Gazette 16 August 1915:
‘In recognition of services during the operations in the vicinity of the Dardanelles prior to 25-26 April 1915: For services during the attack on minefields under fire.’
William Snow was born at Newport, isle of Wight, on 22 June 1861 and joined the ROyal Nvy as a Boy Second Class on 4 August 1876. Promoted Able Seaman on 1 December 1880, he served in H.M.S. Don from 23 June to 31 October 1882, seeing active service in that ship during the Egyptian campaign of 1882. Advanced Petty officer First Class on 4 Septemebr 1893, he was shore pensioned on 30 June 1899.
Recalled for War service on 2 August 1914, Snow was borne on the books of H.M.S. Halcyon from 13 August 1914 to 21 January 1915, and then H.M.S. Blenheim from 22 January to 31 March 1915. He was wounded in action during operations in the vicinity of the Dardanelles on 13 March 1915, whilst serving in H.M. Trawler 318, and was subsequently awarded the Distinguished Service Medal for services during the attack on minefields ‘whilst under fire’; given the dates involved, it is reasonable to assume that his wounds and the awarded the D.S.M. came for the same action. He was invalided out of the service on 18 June 1915, and in addition to receiving a 1914-15 Star trio was awarded a Silver War Badge no. RN 160 on 14 October 1916.
