Pte. Herbert Smith MM.

British Army 10th Battalion Duke of Wellington (West Riding) Regiment

from:Elland

The original recommendation for the Military Medal reads:

"No 11837 Private Herbert Smith Has done invaluable work in charge of the Brigade Pigeon section. On 7th June during the attack on Hill 60 he was detailed to carry pigeons forward in rear of the assaulting lines to the Brigade Forward Post. Though the rest of the party were scattered or became casualties he reached his objective and waited there alone with his pigeons for over an hour under heavy fire. Finding no-one he ultimately returned through the barrage to report to Headquarters. He has, on previous occasions, shown remarkable coolness under fire. At Contalmaison on 10th July 1916 by his Le Sars on 7th October 1916 he did very valuable work. Military Medal H.C. Owen, Capt for Lieut Colonel, A.A. and Q.M.G., 23rd Division"

Pte. Herbert Sydney Smith

British Army 1st Btn. Norfolk

from:Cleethorpes

(d.30th Mar 1917)

Herbert Smith is a relative of my wife and I am trying to piece together the circumstances of his death. From what I have found out the Norfolk's where in the Festubertand area of the line in March 1917 before moving in April. Now comes the sketchy assumption bit. At this period of time the 5th Division which the 1st Battalion Norfolk Regiment was connected to was in the sector preparing defensive positions south of the River Omignon. As he died of wounds on the 30th of March, I am assuming he was severely wounded during the german attack of 21st/22nd of March 1917. I will try and get more detailed information but if anyone has any leads I would be grateful as we intent to visit his grave in Lapugnoy Military Cemetery on the 100th anniversary of his death with his Granddaughter (my wifes mother)
