Bryn_Hammond Posted 20 April , 2003 Share Posted 20 April , 2003 The following is the Imperial War Museum's Department of Documents entry for the papers they hold for Snow: Snow, Lieutenant General Sir Thomas D'Oyly 76/79/1 Two important ts accounts (71pp and 80pp) covering his commands of the 4th Division, August - September 1914, and the 27th Division, November 1914 - June 1915, both on the Western Front, together with two volumes of transcriptions of his letters home, August 1914 - December 1917, covering the above two commands and his command of VII Corps, July 1915 - December 1917, containing descriptions of the retreat from Mons, and the Battles of Second Ypres, the Somme, Arras and Cambrai. (From www.iwmcollections.org.uk) As you can see, his command of VII Corps ended at the end of 1917 - so he was not a Corps Commander under Gough in 1918.
