Notebook of Private Arthur Snape of the 1/8th Lancs Fusiliers, including notes on training, poems, and diary (43)

A notebook kept by Private Arthur Snape of the 1/8th Lancashire Fusiliers, A Company, 42nd East Lancashire Division, believed to have been a sniper. The notebook contains a variety of material, including accounts of Snape's own movements and the operations he was involved in. He took part in the Dardanelles campaign in 1915, was in Malta later in 1915, then Egypt 1916-17, and finally France in 1917. The notebook also includes references to Gallipoli, Suvla Bay, and Anzac. Snape's account is in multiple sections throughout the notebook, but each is a continuous narrative, suggesting it may have been written as a retrospective memoir rather than a diary kept day by day. The longest section occupies most of the second half of the book: it begins with Snape's enlistment on 27th May 1915, and ends with his division leaving Egypt for France on 3rd March[?] 1917. There are also notes on training courses (subjects covered include sniping, orders for a camp guard, and bombing), details of the Dardanelles losses up to December 11th 1915, a list of payments, and two poems, one beginning "Here is a story of which a soldier tells / Who was in that famous landing / on the shores of the Dardanelles", and the other entitled "Empire".本数据集为兰开夏燧发枪兵团（Lancashire Fusiliers）第1/8营A连、第42东兰开夏师列兵（Private）亚瑟·斯内普（Arthur Snape）的战地笔记，据考证其身份为狙击手。该笔记涵盖多类内容，包括斯内普本人的行军轨迹与参与作战行动的记述。他曾参与1915年的达达尼尔战役（Dardanelles Campaign），1915年下半年前往马耳他，1916年至1917年驻防埃及，最终于1917年赴法国作战。笔记中还提及加里波利（Gallipoli）、苏弗拉湾（Suvla Bay）与澳新军团（Anzac）相关战事。 斯内普的记述分散于笔记的多个章节，但各章节均为连贯叙事，由此推测该笔记更偏向于事后撰写的回顾性回忆录，而非逐日记录的战地日记。篇幅最长的章节占据了笔记后半部分的绝大多数内容：该章节始于斯内普1915年5月27日的入伍记录，终于其所属师1917年3月3日（日期存疑）撤离埃及前往法国的事件。 笔记中还包含军事训练课程相关笔记（训练科目涵盖狙击、营地岗哨勤务指令以及投弹训练）、截至1915年12月11日的达达尼尔战役伤亡详情、薪资发放清单，以及两首诗歌：其一开篇为“此乃一名士兵所讲述的故事 / 他曾亲历那著名的登陆行动 / 于达达尼尔的海岸之上”，其二题为《帝国（Empire）》。
