SCOTT, Percy

Private

2nd Battalion

Hampshire Regiment

Percy was born 1872 in Newport, the eldest son of George & Emily (nee BARTON) SCOTT who were living at 45 Clarence Road in Newport around the time of Percy’s death. The family had previously lived at 21 Elm Grove in Carisbrooke.

Percy, aged 43, was Killed in Action on the 6th of August 1915 & buried near to where he fell. However, during the course of the war his grave was lost, & so Percy is commemorated by the Commission on the Helles Memorial to The Missing at Gallipoli in Turkey together with 20,961 of his First World War comrades.

Percy is also remembered on the County & Newport Borough War Memorials.
