Thomas Scott attended Daniel Stewart’s College 1912-15 and was appointed a Probationary Surgeon in the “Wavy Navy” in the latter year. Contemporary sources confirm that he went to sea in the torpedo boat destroyer Brisk, but he seems to have returned to his studies at Daniel Stewart’s College in 1917 before gaining his MBCh.at Edinburgh University soon after the War. Thereafter, Scott would appear to have been a G.P. for Howick, but he is known to have been appointed a Lieutenant in the R.A.M.C. (T.A.) in January 1944 - he was advanced to Major in 1956 and was awarded the T.D.; sold with four original photographs, one of them depicting the recipient in his Great War R.N.V.R. uniform and another while a Captain in the R.A.M.C.
