“…The second Chinburg invariant (no(L/ K, 2) in our notation) is constructed from a projective Z[G(L/ K)]module, X, and the classical fundamental classes of local class field theory (see [131] Chapter 7). In a similar manner, one may use the fundamental classes of , [38], [138], [139] This is to be interpreted as meaning that X is the intersection of L with the product of its P-completions, Xp, where both are considered as subgroups of the adeIes. Hence X is a locally free OK [G(L/ K)]-module whose P-completion is…”

His father was a private in the Army Air Corps during the Second World War.Sylvia was divorced from Victor Harry and married Alec Vasey Snaith in 1948. Alec was a driver and salesman for a fruit company in Doncaster; he adopted Victor in 1949. Victor never lived with his birth father, and met him only once as a child. After living in Doncaster, the family moved to Scunthorpe, where Victor attended Scunthorpe Grammar School.At the Scunthorpe School, Victor obtained nine 'O' Levels in 1960 in addition to an 'O' Level in Mathematics in 1959, and 'A' levels in Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Physics with a distinction in Further Mathematics. On his final school report in 1962, Victor's mathematics teacher, Dennis Travis, wrote, 'Academically, I believe he will probably do better than any previous pupil of this school; I look forward to his future career with interest. [...] he was a member of the chess team and member of MENSA'. The Head Master wrote, 'To receive a provisional offer of a place at three Cambridge colleges is no mean achievement. ... I look forward to great things'.Victor was an undergraduate student at Pembroke College, Cambridge, and then a graduate student at the University of Warwick.He met his wife Carolyn while at Warwick. They were married in July 1969 in Suffolk, where she had been working as a mathematics teacher. They had three children: Anna, born on 1970, Nina, born on 1974 and Dan, born on 1978. Anna and Nina were born in Cambridge, and Dan was born in London, Ontario, Canada.Anna Snaith is a Professor of English at King's College London, and Nina Snaith is a Professor of Mathematical Physics at the University of Bristol. Dan Snaith is a musician, composer and recording artist, and holds a PhD in Mathematics from Imperial College London.Victor died, peacefully, on 3 July 2021, after a 15-year struggle with a blood disorder. He was 77 years old at the time of his passing.Snaith finished his BA in Mathematics at Cambridge in 1966, and then completed his MSc and PhD degrees at Warwick in 1967 and 1969, respectively. His PhD supervisor was Luke Hodgkin.
