Notes for Brig Hubert Clementi Smith DSO
No birth record found and, so far, his birth is only known from the 1911 census.

Probably not found in 1939 Register as he had volunteered for military service even if he had been retired.

In fact he was found, with his daughter Anne and in London, but with  both given the surname of “Celemnti-Smith”, so they were a tad hard to find.

No death index on FindMyPast but FreeBMD has this:

Surname  First name(s)  Age  District  Vol  Page
Deaths Sep 1958   (>99%)
SMITH    Hubert C       80   Romsey    6b   479

The online GRO index is now (Nov 2021) at 1957 so it should shortly include 1958.
Meanwhile we do have his probate information which includes his death date.
