Private Ernest 'Smokey' Smith
(BSO108)
includes Ernest 'Smokey' Smith Warrior PIAT team & one Small two-hole base.

Ernest Alvia ‘Smokey’ Smith had the unique distinction being the only private Canadian soldier to earn the Victoria Cross in the Second World War.

Private Smith’s anti-tank squad of three men (himself, Private James Tennant and Private K.W. Ballard) were able to repulse a German counterattack during heavy fighting near the Savio River in October 1944. With Private Ballard providing cover, Smith and Tennant advance until Tennant was wounded. A now enraged Smith charged the enemy with little regard for his personal safety and was able to route the enemy advance.
