 David Sneddon served in the Royal Artillery in WW I, emigrated to Canada and apparently resided at Regina, where he served in the Militia in 12 District Deport Signals. On the outbreak of WW II, he attested for active service, and his number, L22001, was the first of the block of Active Service numbers allocated to 12 District Depot. [See, Law, Regimental Numbers of the Canadian Army 1936-1960, p. 51.]

Sold with photocopy of MIC for his WW I service and copies of the General Orders entries for his Efficiency Medal and clasps.

A good two-war long service group, for which further research would be profitable.
