Pictures of uncle Alexander William Smythe ; summary of his life published in an Argentine newspaper when he died; pictures of his medals.
My name is Gladys Rose Smythe, I am 83 years old and I am writeing from Chile, South America. I want to share the story of my uncle Alexander William Smythe, who in 1914 joined the Royal Field Artillery and became a Major in the World War One. A.W. Smythe was the 4th of five brothers and one sister: Andrew, Harry, Geen, William, Ralph and Elliot Redvers Smythe. E. Redvers was my father and he was born here in Chile. He died when I was a child, thats why I dont have many details about the war story of my uncle, but I could preserve some beautiful pictures. And I want to share that historic treasure. The first picture shows my uncle when he was young. The second picture shows a summary of my uncle's life published in an Argentine newspaper when he died. The picture number 3 shows my uncle (the man in the chair) with his troops in France after the war. And the pictures number 4 and 5 shows my uncle's medals.
