Tpr Harold W. Smith, 1st Hussars

Mr. Smith was the gunner on the tank commanded by the Commanding Officer of the 1st Hussars who would have had some 70 tanks under his command. They were engaged in "mopping-up" operations, destroying machine-gun nests, etc., having landed about 8:15 in the morning by which time the big guns had been taken out. Less than a week after D-Day, 'B' Squadron of the Hussars went into battle with 21 tanks, and lost 19 of them.
