Pte. John Scott
British Army 18th Btn. Durham Light Infantry
"‘Twas easy enough at Gezancourt – thirty kilometres from the line –
To bray the enemy from the Somme and drive him back to the Rhine.
For there with the line of our advance mapped out on the level ground,
Day after day, “D” Company was reg’larly mucked around
“Over there’s supposed to be Gommecourt (them trees with the feathery tops).
Yonder’s Serre Wood, and over here our objective-Pendant Copse!”
And every day we signallers on Pendant Copse would stand,
Signalling back to GHQ “Objectives gained as planned!”But “D” Company knew they had something on – them and 18th West Yorks –
When the big push started on the Somme to give old Fritz the works.
Aye, every night, and all night long, while the regiment lay at Courcelles,
Lorries in convoy came rolling through bringing up loads of shells
Through that dark village street with clanking of chains over the bumpy ground
Where in billets we’re snatching uneasy sleep, with the rats a-scuttling around!Then a night or two before the attack (in Bus Woods then we stayed)
Some of us met behind our shack and under the trees we prayed!
Back home they said ‘twas a righteous cause! That King and Country claimed;
And we, who took it seriously, were scarcely to be blamed.Don’t ask me what we prayed about; since then I’ve often prayed;
“No, not for safety Lord, but help me not to be afraid!”
So we take the road for Colincamps one night as the sun goes down.
Scouting “Taubes” fly overhead – the warning whistle’s blown!
Hedges afford scant cover, where we crouch with anxious eye,
Convinced that not a move escapes that watcher in the sky!Darkness! From earth and sandbags comes the now familiar stench,
As we grope and stumble down the long communication trench.
Then it’s “Pass the word to mind the wire!” “Loose board here!” “Lift your feet!”
And it’s “Watch your step!” (on them coggly stones going down Sackville Street)
Now scrambling over awkward spots where the trench has been smashed in.
With a shudder, at what might come to ‘us’ before the day begin.”Pte John Scott, 18th DLI writing shortly after the 1st of July 1916.
Pte. John "Jock" Scott
British Army 5th Btn. Cameron Highlanders
from:Douglas, Lanarkshire
In December 1914, five months after the start of the Great War, my grandfather, John Scott, known as Jock, volunteered for service as a private with the 5th (Service) Queens Own Cameron Highlanders a new battalion, formed as part of Kitchener's Army. He was immediately posted to Aldershot for training and was later transferred to France as part of the 26th Brigade in the 9th (Scottish) Division. He first saw action at the Battle of Ypres in April and May 1915.
Four months later, Jock was posted to Loos where he sent a postcard to his fiance, Nan Wighton, on 16th of September 1915. The words were brief and simply read: "Just a P C to let you know that I am getting on all right and keeping well. Hope this finds you keeping well. Jock"
Following the commencement of the Battle of Loos on 25th of September 1915, the 5th Camerons were heavily involved in the early fighting, particularly in the assault on Hohenzollern Redoubt. However, the attack went badly wrong and they suffered horrific casualties. Jock was hit in the leg by a large piece of shrapnel and had to crawl over a mile back to the allied lines. However, he would later say that he was one of the lucky ones, since many of his friends and comrades either didn't survive or were maimed for life.
Following field surgery in France, Jock was returned to the United Kingdom for further treatment and recuperation at Swinton Grange Red Cross Hospital in Malton in North Yorkshire. After he was wounded, Jock was no longer fit for combat duties but his war was not over. He was assigned to the Cameron Labour Corps, which carried out a whole range of defence works duties in the UK and in overseas theatres, especially in France and Flanders.

Pte. Joseph Brayton Scott
British Army Cheshire Regiment
from:3 Stuart Road, Tranmere
(d.27th May 1918)
I am researching the names on my old school's (Birkenhead Institute) Memorial to try and find out more than just name, initials, which service and date of death. As I find more details about them their families and sometimes their work and leisure I now wonder which battles they were involved in. I think from Joseph's date of death he could have been involved in the Battle of Aisne. Can you confirm this ? The thrust of this is the threat to our (uknwm listed) playing fields from housing development.
64744 Private Joseph Brayton Scott served with the 10th Battalion, the Cheshire Regiment during WW1 and died, age 19, on the 27th May 1918. He is remembered on the Soissons Memorial, Aisne, France.
