 | | On 18th May 1915, Lieutenant Smyth, with a party of 10 men, all volunteers, carried two boxes, containing a total of 96 bombs, across exceptionally exposed and dangerous ground, to within 20 yards of the German positions. |
 | | With the aid of two men, the remainder of the small party having been killed or wounded, Lieutenant Smyth, succeeded in his task of taking the bombs after having had to swim a stream all the time exposed to heavy howitzer, machine gun and rifle fire and shrapnel. |
 | | Captain Smyth was wounded by a spear in doing so, but he killed the Arab. |
