Military Medal 'Near LE BARQUE, FRANCE, on the 25th February, 1917, L/Cpl. SMITH was one of a patrol who were surprised by a strong party of the enemy firing on them from a cunningly laid position. He crept forward and assisted in rescuing two wounded men, and brought them back safely. He was sent on a daylight patrol, and through his bravery and coolness brought back information, which was instrumental in our occupying an enemy trench 400 yards in advance.'
