Major General Sir William Douglas Smith KCB KCVO (24 March 1865 – 4 February 1939) was a British Army officer who became Lieutenant Governor of Jersey.[1]

Military career

Smith was the son of Lt.-Col. Andrew William Douglas Smith, Royal Marines and Myra Elizabeth Luxmoore, an artist.[1] After attending the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, Smith was commissioned into the Royal Scots Fusiliers as a lieutenant on 29 August 1885.[2][3] He took part in the Burma expedition in 1886, was promoted to captain on 14 November 1894, and took part in the Tirah Campaign in 1897.[2] He was promoted to major on 14 November 1902, while serving with the 1st battalion stationed in Allahabad, British India.[4][5] He was appointed a Brigade Major in India in 1905 and Commanding Officer of 1st Battalion Royal Scots Fusiliers in 1911.[2]

He served in World War I as commander of the 9th Infantry Brigade, as general officer commanding (GOC) 20th (Light) Division, and then as GOC 56th (1/1st London) Division in France.[2] After receiving a promotion to the permanent rank of major general in January 1917, "for distinguished services in the field",[6] he took command of the 56th Division on a temporary basis between 24 July 1917 and 9 August 1917 after his predecessor had been taken ill and until a permanent appointment could be made.[7]

After the war he became commander of Portsmouth Garrison and then Lieutenant Governor of Jersey before retiring in 1924.[2]

Family

He married Kathleen Edith Beyts and had one daughter.[1]
