David Snodden WW1 & WW2

[Andrew193]

This is a bit of a crossover between the two wars for the above.
What I do know is the following
David Snodden B 25th 1896 Belfast. Enlists October? 1914 Army Service Corps as a driver Service number T3/031074. Demobed July 1919
Re enlists October 1919 Royal Artillary Service number 1030151 and serves untill 1943 ending as a BQMS (i believe)
Any further info greatfully recieved.

The T3 prefix for the Army Service Corps indicates that served within the Horse Transport section (T) and joined up as part of Kitchener's 3rd New Army (3). He is recorded as enlisting 25 Nov 1914 but did not enter a field of war (France) until 3 Oct 1915, which entitled him to the 1915 Star.

He was discharged to the Z reserves on 16 July 1919 but will still have been liable to be called up again in the event of further hostilities. As a result, his enlistment into the RA on 6 Oct 1919 gives the termination of his service with the RASC as 5th Oct .

It looks like he was discharged to the B reserves on 11 Aug 1944 under Paragraph 390 (xxi) - termination of period of engagement - and finally discharged from the reserves in 1954 for 'Age Limit', likely brought about by the Navy, Army and Air Force Reserves Act 1954.

I don't know what rank he reached, sorry.
