To be an Additional Member in the Military Division of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.

Flight Lieutenant Edward Solomon Adolph Sniders (106028), Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, No. 139 (Jamaica) Squadron.

Flight Lieutenant Sniders was the pilot of a Mosquito aircraft engaged on a bombing sortie on 17^th July, 1943, when engine trouble developed on the way to the target. He continued, however, and completed his mission. During the return journey he had to abandon his aircraft, being unable to maintain height. He landed in a field in Holland, hid his parachute harness and lay in a ditch until dark. His method of avoiding capture was to hide by day and travel by night, living on food given him by friendly Dutch folk.

Flight Lieutenant Sniders evaded being taken prisoner until 22^nd August, 1943, when he was arrested by the Germans at the moment he was making his way across the Belgian-French frontier. He was taken to Stalag Luft III at Sagan where, on 14^th October, 1943, he dressed as a Luftwaffe airman and crossed the warning and outer fences, pretending that he was working on them. As he walked away he was recognized by a German and arrested, receiving a sentence of 10 days in the cells. In November 1943, he made another attempt to escape, by tunneling, but the tunnel was discovered before the escape materialized. He eventually escaped on 21^st April, 1945, from Stalag VIIA when, dressed as an airman, he left with a working party bound for Moorsburg. Here he and others hid until contact was made with the Allied Armies. He returned to the United Kingdom on 12^th May, 1945.
