| NOTES
Source: Son (Fred) “Father was born in Hull, Yorkshire, England and emigrated with his mother and brother to New Zealand as a child in the early 1920s. Prior to enlisting in the New Zealand Army, Snow (as he was known) was employed as a Fish Curer in Auckland. He had undertaken four years military service as a cadet in the New Zealand Army and enlisted in 1940. On his return to New Zealand in 1945, Snow married Rose Edith Pickett (nee Bussey). In December 1960, my father retired on a full War Pension due to war related health problems. He died on 27 June 1965. In 2013 my wife and I visited Wolfsberg for the first Stalag 18A reunion. We also visited the family whose farm he worked on in Ebersdorf not far from Wolfsberg.” For more information please email us at greekveterans@gmail.com and we will forward your request to our Archivist Noah Scott |
