 First World War.com - Who's Who - Sir Nevill Maskelyne Smyth
Sir Nevill Maskelyne Smyth (1868-1941) served in field command positions, generally in charge of Australian forces, during World War One.
The son of an eminent scientist (and founder of the Royal School of Mines), the first cousin of Robert Baden-Powell (founder of the world scout movement), Smyth's pre-war career in the British Army was nothing if not incident-packed.
Seeming equally at home in command of infantry as of cavalry, Smyth also had experience of leading machine gun teams; he had the apparent ability to adapt to conditions as necessary.

 Five Years in Siam 1898 (Thailand)
Smyth contributes an unusually detailed perspective on life in Siam (Thailand), giving a profile of his acquaintances, along with scientific data that is representative of travel literature of the period.
Smyth applies Eurocentric standards of moral character and behavior to Siam's population, relegating the Asian to a lower rung on the ladder of racial hierarchy.
Smyth treats this incident as a issue between France and Siam, thus relieving Britain of responsibility despite the fact that the incident was intimately related to a larger competition for territory engaged in by Britain and France.

 Smyth - new and used books
Smyth's early poems in the collection powerfully recreate her childhood in Northern Ireland, that capture the horrors of violence sandwiched in the midst of everyday life: while "Kids my age play real soldiers", "I'm missing 'Crossroads'".
In "The Roadside" Smyth evokes the fear and smell of a political killing, while elsewhere she meditates on the effects of her growing alienation and separation from the region.
Its success lies in the fact that Smyth will not and cannot be simply pigeonholed as an Irish lesbian writer, although her dissection of both politics and sex remains by turns angry, tender and insightful.
