One of only three 'raised dates' Queen's South Africa Medals known to members of the British Army, the majority of course having been issued to Lord Strathcona's Horse. MBE LG 12 December 1919: 'In recognition of valuable services rendered in connection with military operations in Egypt and Palestine.' Henry Surridge Smith, who was born in April 1868, served for a little over 23 years in the ranks of the Royal Engineers, in which period he qualified for his 3-clasp Queen's South Africa Medal prior to being invalided back home in October 1900 - reason indeed to issue him with an '1899-1900' raised dates award. Having then added the LS&GC Medal to his accolades in October 1901, and been appointed Superintending Clerk (Warrant Officer Class II) in March 1907, he was commissioned as a Temporary Captain in July 1915, while serving in the Egyptian Expeditionary Force. In addition to his subsequent award of the MBE, he won a 'mention' from General A. J. Murray, Egyptian Expeditonary Force, 'For gallant and distinguished services in the Field' (LG 11 January 1918 refers). DNW Sep 2007 £4100 | Royal Engineers, Staff |
