Pair: BWM, Victory.  Medals unmounted, deeply toned, VF.

 Clifford Earle Snair was born at Black Point, NS, on 4 Sep 1895. A lumberman by trade, he had served over 2years in the 66^th Regt (Princess Louise Fusiliers) when he attested for CEF service at Halifax on 12 Apr 1918. He was assigned to 1^st Depot Bn, NS Regt and subsequently served in the field with the 85^th Bn (NS Highlanders) (12 Bde, 4^th Div). He was a very late arrival to that battalion and perhaps for that reason is not included on the roll of the unit published in the 85^th regimental history.

Sold with copy of attestation form from his LAC file.
