the Victoria Cross " for his conspicuous bravery when leading the storming party at the attack and capture of the
strong position occupied by the enemy near Nilt, in the Hunza-Nagar Country, on the 20th December 189 1: The
position was, owing to the nature of the country, an extremely strong one, and had barred the advance of the
force for seventeen days. It was eventually forced by a small party of fifty rifles, with another of equal strength
in support. The first of these parties was under the command of Lieut. Smith, and it was entirely owing to
his splendid leading, and the coolness, combined with dash, he displayed while doing so, that a success was
obtained. For nearly four hours, on the face of a cliff which was almost precipitous, he steadily moved his
handful of men from point to point, as the difficulties of the ground and showers of stones from above gave
him an opportunity, and during the whole of this time he was in such a position as to be unable to defend
himself from any attack the enemy might choose to make. He was the first man to reach the summit, within
a few yards of one of the enemy's sungars, which was immediately rushed, Lieut; Smith pistolling the first
man."
