Was awarded the Victoria Cross under the following
circumstances : — " At the commencement of the fight
at Jidballi, on 10 J.an. 1904, the enemy made a very
sudden and determined rush on the 5th Somali
Mounted Infantry, from under cover of bushes close
at hand. They were supported by rifle fire, advanced
very rapidly, and got right amongst our men. Lieut.
Smith, Somali Mounted Infantry, and Lieut. J. R.
Welland, M.D., Royal Army Medical Corps, went out
to the aid of hospital assistant Rahamat Ali, who was
wounded, and endeavoured to bring him out of action
on a horse, but the rapidity of the enemy's advance
rendered this impossible, and the hospital assistant
was killed. Lieut. Smith then did all that any man
could do to bring out Lieut. Welland, helping hinr
to mount a horse, and, when that was shot, a mule.
This also was hit, and Dr. Welland was speared by
the enemy. Lieut. Smith stood by Dr. Welland to
the end, and when that officer was killed, was within
a few paces of him, endeavouring to keep off the
enemy with his revolver. At the time the dervishes
appeared to be all round him. and it was marvel-
lous that he escaped with his life."
