Embarked Alexandria to join the British Expeditionary Force, 17 June 1916; disembarked Marseilles, France, 23 June 1916. Reported missing, 20 July 1916. Identification disc received from Germany (German Death List, 4 November 1916). No particulars were afforded except that soldier is deceased. To be reported as KILLED IN ACTION 20/7/16. German report, 2 August 1916: 'austr. Sold. Scott, R.G.M. Nr. 1046. C. 32. A.I.F. am 19.7.16 in Gegen Fromelles gefallen.' Note on Red Cross File No 2440110: 'The above name appeared on German death list dated 4-11-16.' Letter, Imperial War Graves Commission, London, to mother, 10 October 1924: ' ... it has been necessary to renumber certain graves in Rue Petillon Military Cemetery and that in consequence the full number of the grave believed to be that of Private R.G. M. Scott is now Plot 1, Row L, Grave 46. As you are aware the grave is marked by a cross bearing the name, regimental particulars and date of death of Private Scott, preceded by the words "Believed to be." This cross will in due course be replaced by a permanent memorial, and, should no subsequent doubt have arisen as to the identity of the grave, the words "Believed to be" can be omitted, if you wish, from the inscription on this stone.' Medals: 1914-15 Star, British War Medal, Victory Medal Originally mistakenly commemorated in Rue-Petillon Military Cemetery (Plot I, Row L, Grave No. 46); subsequently (2010) identified, and interred in the Fromelles (Pheasant Wood) Military Cemetery, France. |
