July 1941
KILLED IN ACTION
We regret to learn that George Victor Snell the younger son of the Late Mr. A. P. Snell
(Mowden School) was killed in action when in command of a bomber crew. It was his
fourteenth operational flight, in the last five of which he was the captain of the crew.
Victor Snell was the first child to be Christened in the little iron church in 1913. He
was educated at Rottingdean, Winchester and Jesus College, Cambridge. He had been a keen
sea scout and worked for a time in the office of Sir Giles Gilbert Scott the eminent
architect.
