Default Major MacLean R.C.E., Snake, and Snake carrier

Does anyone have info regarding Major MacLean of the 11th Field Co., 2nd Canadian Division, R.C.E. and his invention, the Snake? Apparently he invented it in October 1941 when it was nicknamed the "Worthington Wiggler" after F.F. Worthington, commander of the 1st Canadian Tank Brigade. My research so far has shown that the Snake and the Snake carrier were only deployed once in combat at Anzio by the U.S. 1st Armored Division on May 23, 1944. Any comments/info/links/pics especially diagrams or details of the snake would be greatly appreciated.
