Notes
Ged Martin (see References) offers this brief biography: ‘More remarkable, if only because he had matriculated as recently as 1909, was the fate of A.G. Smith. The Magazine's March 1919 list recorded the gazetting of his Military Cross in January 1918, plus the fact that he was mentioned in despatches in May. However, at that time, nobody in the College knew that this Captain of the Loyal North Lancashires had been killed in April 1918.'
