He was (Scout Movement) Baden-Powell's first cousin - the son of Sir Warington Wilkinson Smyth and grandson of Admiral W. H. Smyth. He was awarded the Victoria Cross while serving with the 2nd Dragoon Guards (Queen's Bays) at Khartoum in 1898. He settled in Australia in 1925
He was 30 years old, and a Captain in the 2nd Dragoon Guards ( Queen's Bays ), British Army during the Sudan Campaign when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.
On 2 September 1898 at the Battle of Omdurman , Sudan , Captain Smyth galloped forward and attacked an Arab who had run amok among some War Correspondents. Captain Smyth received the Arab's charge, and killed him, being wounded in the arm while doing so, but he saved the life of at least one of the War Correspondents.
