This road for a distance of about one kilometer lies in No Man's. Land, and although he was several times fired on, he kept on the road, wishing to deliver the message without delay and fearing to get lost if he went through the woods, which was a more circuitous though safer route.

(G.O. 47-A, 2nd Division).

Commanding his battalion on the night of the lst-2nd of June, and being attached to the Marine Brigade, he led his battalion into action as infantry. Under his leadership the battalion remained in action until the 8th of June, during which time it gained the praise of the Commanding General of the Brigade and of subordinate commanders for its courage and fighting qualities.

On June 8th, the battalion was ordered to a back area where it was to serve as part of the Division Reserve and to engage in engineer work. When a counter-attack by the enemy was believed to be imminent, on June 11, Companies "D" and "F" were ordered to the front line, and again Major SNOW led them into action as infantry.

On the afternoon of June 12th he was wounded in the shoulder by shrapnel. Receiving treatment at a first-aid station, he refused to go to the rear and would have rejoined his battalion except for orders of Lieutenant Colonel WISE, 5th Marines, under whom he was at that time serving, directing him to proceed to the rear.

Throughout the operations in which his command took part he displayed a gallantry well worthy of mention.

The men of Company "D" and Company "F" especially are entitled to high commendation for their splendid service at the front lines, going into action as infantry at a critical moment in our operations against the enemy and conducting themselves in and excellent manner.

The men of the Second Regiment of Engineers, during the time they were on duty with the 4th Brigade, gave their services readily and cheerfully in all that was requested of them, not only in trench construction, as litter-bearers and ammunition carriers, but on the firing line side by side with the Marines.
