WELL-KNOWN ABERDEEN ARTIST KILLED IN ACTION
Lieut. C. Lindsay Smith
There will be a feeling of keen regret among his fellow artists and a wide circle of friends in Aberdeen and district at the news that Lieut Campbell Lindsay Smith has been killed at the front. The information is to hand that the lieutenant, who was attached to the 8th Gordon Highlanders, was killed on the 10th November. On that Lieut Smith went out with a reconnoitring party and met with the enemy. He was posted as wounded and missing, but the information has now been received that he was killed on the date mentioned.
Lieutenant Campbell Lindsay Smith responded to the call to the colours more than a year ago, giving up his paint-brushes for the sword. In the spring of this year he returned to the city on furlough, and received a hearty welcome from his friends. His loss will be keenly felt not only personally by his many friends but also in the artistic community, where he had given promise of rising to an eminent place.
Lieut. Smith had already made a name for himself as a portrait painter, although in other departments of art he also occupied a high position, and had exhibited pictures at the Royal Academy, The Royal Scottish Academy, other leading exhibitions. He had no fewer than five pictures prominently displayed on the walls of the 1908 exhibition of the Aberdeen artists' Society, and he was always represented at the exhibitions of that society.
