Soldiers from Brompton Barrack were fighting the Crimean war.
On 20th September the Sappers found a dead Russian Officer and
beside him was his dog a jack Russel terrier.
The men took it back to their tents and fed and spoiled him.
after awhile the men found out the dog would spend more time
at the Officers tent .the Offices had better food.
so the sappers gave him the name Snob.
Snob went into battle with the men right in the thick of it.
After the war they went to India for a short time.
Them back at Brompton Barracks where he spent the rest of his
life in the Guard room.
He was awarded a Crimean Medal. with the'Alma'clasp.
1886 he died and was buried in a casket buried next to the
Crimean Arch with full military.
his coat was stuffed and is in the and is in the Royal Engeerners
Museum.
There is a Plaque next to the Crimean arch where he is buried.

Yes once I took Benji out and someone was letting of fireworks and a lady said to me "Is'nt he afraid of them." I said "THEY ARE GUN DOGS" she agreed. My uncle would go out shooting and he would pick up his gun and his Jack Russell would be at tge door.
