Sgt. Quentin George Murray Smythe VC.. South African Forces Royal Natal Carabineers from South Africa Quentin George Murray Smythe was 25 years old, and a Sergeant in the Royal Natal Carabineers, 1st SA Infantry Division, South African Forceswhen he was awarded the VC. The citation was gazetted on 11 September 1942:
"The King has been graciously pleased to approve the award of the Victoria Cross to: 4458 Sergeant Quentin George Murray Smythe, South African Forces. For conspicuous gallantry in action in the Alem Hamza area on the 5th June, 1942. During the attack on an enemy strong point in which his officer was severely wounded; Sergeant Smythe took command of the platoon although suffering from a shrapnel wound in the forehead. The strong point having been overrun, our troops came under enfilade fire from an enemy machine-gun nest. Realising the threat to his position, Sergeant Smythe himself stalked and destroyed the nest with hand grenades, capturing, the crew. Though weak from loss of blood, he continued to lead the advance, and on encountering an anti-tank gun position again attacked it single-handed and captured the crew. He was directly responsible for killing several of the enemy, shooting some and bayonetting another as they withdrew.
After consolidation he received orders for a withdrawal, which he successfully executed, defeating skilfully an enemy attempt at encirclement.
Throughout the engagement Sergeant Smythe displayed remarkable disregard for danger, and his leadership and courage were an inspiration to his men."

Arthur Snaith . British Army Royal Signals from Swinton, Manchester My father Arthur Snaith was with the Royal Signals, and I am trying to find out more about his army service but the MOD need his army number which I don't have. I know he was called up in 1941 and fought as a dispatch rider in Egypt with the 8th Army. He was injured and was moved to Syria, where I'm told he got to ride horses. He was demobbed in 1946 and I'm afraid that's all I know. He died in 1983 but I never found out how he was injured. I do know he gained 3 medals and if anyone can identify serving with him or know his service number, I would be most grateful.

Henry Morris "Roy" Snedker . Royal Marines 40 Commando from London Henry Snedker (my father) volunteered at the tender age of 17. He first tried to volunteer for the army and then the air force, but neither would accept him because of his age. When he tried the Royal Marines, he did not tell them his true age and was accepted.
His initials being HMS, he was quickly nicknamed Roy, short for Royal.
He served in Italy, Sicily, Yugoslavia and Egypt (where he met and married my mother, who was a WREN).
The only story he ever told about his war experiences was related to his habit of snoring very loudly. It seems that his "hut mates" got fed up with the noise and he awoke one morning to find himself still in his bed, but his bed had been relocated to the top of the hut !
He passed away in 2002 in California. He was cremated wearing his green beret.
