Guest Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Do I take that to mean that he was British gustix? 'Brisbane' Smith was actually Robert Smith and was born in Kilburn, north west London. He was a married man and 26 years old when he died. More on 'Brisbane' Smith: 'Brisbane' Smith at High Beech in 1929. What was he shouting about? Edited January 23, 2017 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
