Tony Smith (GC)
Anthony Smith was awarded the George Cross for "outstanding gallantry and devotion to duty in conditions of the utmost danger and difficulty" on the 23 February 1944 in rescuing people from a bomb damaged building in the World's End in London. A chimney sweep and shoemaker by trade, he was attached to the Chelsea Division of the Civil Defence Rescue Service.〔(Anthony Smith, GC )〕
==First World War==
At the outbreak of war in 1914, Smith enlisted in the Royal Marines Light Infantry, Chatham Division. He was posted to the Royal Marine Brigade of the Royal Naval Division and participated in the landings at ANZAC Cove in April 1915. Smith suffered a foot injury that required his evacuation to Chatham.
By December, Smith had recovered and rejoined his old battalion in France, where he fought in numerous actions including the Somme offensive of 1916. Smith's service in the Great War came to an end after a serious hand injury requiring amputation of three fingers resulted in invalidation from the Army in August 1917.
Anthony Smith returned to civilian life as a nightwatchman but returned to the family trade of chimney sweep in 1926.
