Brigadier Alfred Snow, the British officer who led the liberation of the Channel Islands from Nazi occupation in 1945, is finally getting the recognition he deserves. After five years under Nazi rule, Jersey and Guernsey were freed on May 9, 1945, with Sark following the next day — all under Snow’s command as head of Force 135. Now, years after his death in 1983, the British Channel Islands WWII Remembrance Campaign is pushing for official honors, including a Blue Plaque in Guernsey, a move backed by both island bailiffs — a rare and historic consensus. Campaign leader Kev South, whose family was liberated, calls it a deeply personal mission, saying Snow and his troops deserve the highest tribute for restoring freedom to nearly 70,000 islanders.
