Like XE-3, Lieutenant Smart also left the believed safe channel during his long approach up the Singapore Straits and entered mined waters to avoid suspected hydrophone posts. XE-1's target was a heavy cruiser of the Nachi class berthed about two miles beyond the Atago cruiser which XE-3 was to attack. Unfortunately XE-1 was delayed in her attack owing to several encounters with surface craft and instead of passing the boom ahead of XE-3 as planned, actually passed it go minutes after XE-3. This robbed Lieutenant Smart of the necessary margin of time to reach his target and withdraw before dark and he accordingly decided to attack the Atago class cruiser. Unable to get his craft underneath the target he dropped his main charge close alongside it and withdrew. The passage involved the same great hazards as those faced by XE-3 and Lieutenant Smart displayed great courage throughout this hazardous operation.	03.10.1938 joined RNVR, Tyne Division 19.08.1939 - (04.1940) HMS Malaya (battleship) (02.1941) HMS Stag (RN base, Port Said) * (12.1941)     no appointment listed 01.02.1943 - (12.1943) 12th Submarine Flotilla [HMS Varbel (midget submarine base, Port Bannatyne)]: (09.1943) Commanding Officer, HMS X-8 (midget submarine) (Tirpitz action) 01.03.1944 - (06.1944) 12th Submarine Flotilla [HMS Varbel (midget submarine base, Port Bannatyne)]: (06.1944) Commanding Officer, HMS X-25 (midget submarine) 07.12.1944 - (07.1945) HMS Bonaventure (midget submarine depot ship, Loch Striven): (07.1945) Commanding Officer, HMS XE-1 (midget submarine) (Takeo action) Stockbroker with Pemberton Securities, a Vancouver firm.

This is what he served aboard the Alynbank, which, after having its bomb removed at Portsmouth, after PQ18, was sent to rendezvous with the Queen Mary off Dakar, to provide a link in the escort of this vessel, which was en-route from Cape Town to Britain with troops. The Alynbank then went to Gibraltar to work with the Malta convoys, he thinks, and he left the ship about this time, at Alexandria, and was flown home in a Dakota, to begin his officer training at King Alfred. From there he went to a two week navigation course at Greenwich, before going to Troon to join a group being organised by Lord Mountbatten, which he calls the Inshore Squadron, consisting of landing craft and MTB's, and which is where he joined LCT(R)167, and went in it to the Mediterranean."
