Biography
John was born in Crich during 1888, the son of George and Emma Smith. However, he was brought up by his grandparents George Ashbourne and Mary Smith. He was a Crich butcher, who enlisted in 1916 and entered France in 1917. He was wounded by a shell which caused severe injuries to his right side and arm. He underwent two operations. After demob he re-established his butchery business and in 1923 married Agnes Taylor. He was a churchwarden at St Mary’s, Crich, and in 1928 he was honoured by his name being included on a recast church bell.

A report in the Derbyshire Times and Chesterfield Herald dated 9 June 1923 stated that John Henry Smith, butcher of Crich, married at Tansley, Agnes Taylor daughter of Gervaise Taylor.
The following is a news clippings from the Derbyshire Times. It was in an old battered scrap-book of local newspaper clippings, sadly not dated, but interesting non-the-less.
CRICH CASUALTIES
Details of Gunner John H. Smith's wounds have been received in a letter he has sent to his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. J. Roe Smith, of Ashbourne House, Roe's Lane,, Crich. He says that he was wounded by a shell, which caused severe injuries to his right side and arm. After being taken to a hospital in France, he underwent two operations, and later was drafted to England. He is now at Bellahouston Red Cross Hospital, Glasgow, where he is improving. His chum, who was hit by the same shell, died in the next bed to his shortly afterwards. Gunner Smith went across to France in May this year. Before joining up he was a butcher, and had a business on the Market Place, Crich
