Biography
The man’s name was found in the 1918 Absent Voters’ List. He was Private 47500, Royal Army Medical Corps and his home address was given as Great Green.
Parish and census records suggest only one possible man, a James Scott who was the father of William Foster Scott from Brompton Sw (possibly Brompton on Swale) who married Kate Weston of Pirton on December 31st 1900. Perhaps he moved with his son to live in Pirton, but surely, as the father of William, he would have been too old to have served?
