About Hugh Gemmell Lamb Smith
- Hugh Gemmell Lamb-Smith (31 March 1889 – 26 December 1951), known as Gemmell, was an innovative Australian educator who landed at Anzac Cove, Gallipoli, on Sunday, 25 April 1915 as a member of the Second Field Ambulance unit, and went on to serve in Europe for the duration of the war.
- He also served (immediately post-war) as an AIF Education Scheme Instructor in Belgium.
- He was a prominent (lay) member of the Melbourne Anglican community, and he taught at Caulfield Grammar School from 1913 to 1951. "He was a man of wide and sympathetic culture.
- In addition to his love for music, he was a discriminating connoisseur of painting, and a devotee of ballet and the theatre.
- He was a devoted churchman and interested in manly sports.
- Above all, he was an idealist, but, unlike many idealists, he was ready to give practical expression to his ideals." — Webber (1981), p.248
