263 British soldiers lost their lives on the 18th November 1917 and 9934 Private George Snowling was one of these men. He was serving with the 1/4th Battalion, Loyal North Lancashire Regiment and was killed in action on this day.
Soldiers Died in The Great War notes that he had previously served with the Royal Lancaster Regiment (number 1492) and his medal index card notes that he first arrived overseas in Africa on the 16th October 1914.
George Snowling has no known grave and is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial on the Somme.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
