Lieut. James Kane-Smith, M.C.
Carlow Sentinel. May 17th 1919.
We regret to find amongst the official causality
list this week the death of this gallant young Carlow soldier, who was
eldest son of Mr and Mrs Kane-Smith, Little Moyle. He was attached to the
R.F.A., and some months back was reported wounded and missing, but hopes of
recovery were entertained up to the last. He was awarded the M.C. for
distinguished services, while his kind and genial disposition made him a
fast favourite amongst his many friends, who mourn his loss, and sympathise
deeply with his bereaved parents.
The following is from London Gazette 9th of
January 1918
T./2nd Lt. James Kane-Smith, R.F.A.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When
his battery was being heavily shelled he showed a total disregard for his
personal safety in moving from gun-pit to gun-pit encouraging the men. He
was in charge of the guns at the time, and although himself wounded, by his
fearlessness and determination he rallied the men and maintained the
accuracy of the fire of the battery.
He also arranged for the wounded to be cleared
before allowing his own wound to be dressed.
This latest one has added another mystery to the
Carlow War Memorial as this James Kane Smith is not listed? Another name to
add to the Missing names page.
