Deceased enlisted in the Seaforth Highlanders some time after the war was declared, and went to the front shortly afterwards. Some time ago he was severely wounded, and after recovery returned to the trenches. Scott was a prominent footballer having played for Rangers, St Johnston and Forfar Athletic.
