Francis Grey Smith was his great-grandfather. Educated at Boyup Brook State and Bunbury High schools, Guy joined the Royal Australian Air Force on 20 January 1936 and trained as a pilot. Next year he took a short-service commission in the Royal Air Force and moved to England. On 19 October 1939 at the parish church, Godmanchester, Huntingdonshire, he married Helen Dorothy Stanes. Following the outbreak of World War II he went to France with No.139 Squadron. In May 1940 his Blenheim bomber was shot down over enemy territory.
