It is with great sadness that we announce the death on 12th November 2021 of Major Jock Smith MC and Bar, ex 5 Middx. Major Smith served with 1 RSx as an ”Ever Ready” in Aden in 1965. It was whilst on this tour that he led a successful ambush on the rebels for which he was awarded the MC. After return to the UK he joined the Australian Army and whilst on a tour of Vietnam he was awarded a Bar to his MC for a successful encounter with the North Vietnamese army. Many veterans will have known Jock. May he rest in peace.
