World War 1 One ww1 wwII greatwar great 1914 1918 first battalion regiment
Pte. Thomas Scott
British Army 23rd (4th Tyneside Scottish) Btn. Northumberland Fusiliers
from:Bedlington, Northumberland
(d.1st July 1916)
Thomas Scott was born at Ford, near Wooler in Northumberland, he was married to Hannah (Gray) and had four children; my Grandfather William Ralph, Norman, Olive and Thomas Gordon. He was living in Bedlington. He walked to his death on the 1st July 1916 and fell in 'No Man's Land' so he has no known grave but is mentioned on Theipval. He was 38
My Grandad was still grieving for his father 60 years later and found it difficult to discuss him without being upset and a little angry about the way he died and left my great grandmother to struggle and bring up her family without him, I'm sure my great Granda thought he was off on an adventure, serve his country and earn a few extra 'bob' come back to his family and job.
We don't have any photos of Thomas perhaps my Grandfather's siblings have. So, if you are out there, Peter and Jennifer Scott known to have lived in Cambridge or their children and Trevor Hall and his family who emigrated to either Australia or New Zealand please get in touch and let's put Thomas's photo on The Theipval Memorial site with all the other soldiers.
