His father had degrees in forestry and geology from Oxford and served in the Indian Forest Service from 1908 to 1940. He was based in Nainital, where Bill was born in 1912. He wrote:... \"started hill trekking at the age of six months, camping in tents in the hills of Kumaon... brought up within sight of Nanda Devi and Trisul - who could fail to have a love of mountains and natural history?\"Smythies father took up a contract post of Forest Advisor to the Maharaja of Nepal and moved to Kathmandu after 1940 and stayed on till 1947. During this time Bill used to visit his father in Nepal and had access to places that were normally out of bounds for foreigners. Bill Smythies joined the Burma Forest Service in 1934 and during this time he explored the botany and ornithology of these Burmese regions with his Kachin guide and friend Sumdu Mai. He spoke fluent Burmese, Jingpo, Malay and Iban. He was a great fan of the British botanist and explorer Kingdon-Ward.In January 1949 he was appointed to the Colonial Forest Service in Sarawak where he spent 15 years. At the age of 52, the day he left Sarawak, he married Florence \"Jill\" Mary who was a talented botanical artist. The next fifteen years were spent in the Spanish Sierras, the mountains of Britain, the Alps and the Pyrenees before moving to England. Jill died in 1994. In 1986, in honour of his wife, he established an annual Jill Smythies Award through the Linnean Society of London \"for publishing illustration, such as drawings or painting, in aid of plant identification, with the emphasis on botanical accuracy and accurate portrayal of diagnostic characteristics.
