This is my Great Uncle Alfred Arthur Snell Jr. He was born in Kadina in South Australian in the year (1885) he passed away in (1962) he went over to fight in the Great World War 1, and he was in the 3rd Light Horse Regiment, 3rd Reinforcement and he was a Machine Gunner also from his mother side that is Catherine Campbell Manners he also had Royal Blood Line from our 16th times Great Grandmother she was Anne Plantagenet of York, her father was Richard Plantagenet Duke of York, we are all from the White Rose Family. I got some information about my Great Uncle Alfred Arthur Snell, when he was the age of 60 years old he was in an incident which some thing happened to him. and it seems that he was a lucky man he not only survive the Great World War 1 he survive being shot in the stomach with a shotgun at the hands of his son-in-law who then took his own life, he died in the Royal Adelaide Hospital from Extensive wounds to his face and head. My Great Uncle Alfred Arthur Snell he lived in the suburb of Magill and his son-in-law lived in the suburb of Rosslyn Park not very far from one another in Adelaide South Australian that was a true story.
