| Citation: | Austria, Vienna. 12/8/1950 - 29/6/1953. Warrant Officer supervising Vienna Detachment RMP.Regimental Sergeant Major SMITH served in VIENNA for three years, during which time, by his energy, tact and exceptional gifts of leadership and the capacity for setting an example at all times, he has made a very great contribution towards the maintenance of a very high standard of discipline, efficiency and smartness in the Military Police. Since RSM SMITH has had to deal, not only with the American and French Forces, but also those of the Soviet in the International military Police Patrol in Vienna, he has performed services far outside the normal scope of his duties in the Military Police and he has achieved an outstanding success in all that he has done.Maj G D Pillitz DAPM Vienna Garrison.
