My name is John Kennedy.I have just recently discovered I had a Great Uncle who fell at Vimy Ridge.
How can I find out any information about William J.Snoddy.
He was an Ulster who emigrated to Canada a very young man,all we know is he joined the Canadian Army and that is it.
I have tried verious Canadian military web site but can't seem to find any list of those who fell.
I feel it is my duty to at least find his resting place and pay him a visit.
There is even a possibility he may have married and had children.
Can anyone offer a line to follow?.Thankyou

Hi John. Here are some starting points for you:

Here is a copy of his attestation papers:

Here is the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) listing for William Snoddy and where he rests. I've been to the cemetery and it is a remarkable little spot:

Hope this helps
