British War and Bilingual Victory Medals (Condr. W. Hooton-Smith. S.A.S.C.) last three in individual named card boxes of issue.

William John Smith attested for the Grenadier Guards and served with them in South Africa during the Boer War, being wounded in action at Senekal during the Battle of Biddulphsberg on 29 May 1900.

Noonan's say it is believed that, remaining in South Africa, he changed his name to William Hooton-Smith, and served with the South African Service Corps during the Great War, although whether the QSA and the Great War trio were indeed awarded to the same man is unconfirmed.
