He was the son of Walter Scott – whose address, in 1891, was noted as \'Buchanan\'s Buildings, Burnbank\' - a small settlement situated between Hamilton and Blantyre, in Lanarkshire On 12 October 1891, at Hamilton, Robert Scott attested for the Royal Highlanders. Having given his \"Trade or Calling\' as \'Farm servant\', he agreed to serve \'7 years with the Colors, and 5 years in the Reserve\'. At that time, his height was measured at 5 feet 4 inches and he was noted to have a fresh complexion, with grey eyes and light brown hair. His \'Distinctive Marks\' were also described: \'Blue mark under right eye & on right forehead, Scar front of chest & left forearm\'. His \'Religious Denomination\' was recorded as \'Presbyterian\'. Having been allocated No. 4615, Private Scott reached the Black Watch Depot at Perth on the following day, 13 October. After basic training, he was posted to the 2nd Battalion on 22 December 1891. He served in Ireland with this battalion -- and has been traced in its muster rolls as being present in Limerick on 1 February 1892, and on 1 August 1892. Posted abroad to the 1st Battalion Black Watch, Robert Scott served in Gibraltar from 5 October 1892. He remained there up to 28 January 1893, when he embarked on HMS Himalaya, bound for Egypt. Having arrived at Abbassiyeh on 5 February 1893, the 1st Black Watch remained in Egypt until 3 March when the battalion was split in two. On that day, one half of the men left for Mauritius while, on 4 March 1893, the other half embarked once more on HMS Himalaya, bound for South Africa. Private Scott must have been with this half of the battalion, which reached Cape Town on 6 April 1893. Thereafter, he is shown on the muster rolls for \'B\' Company as serving in Cape Town on both 1 June, and 1 December, 1893. However, at the time of the latter date, he was actually attached to the Bechuanaland Border Police - his soldier\'s records noting that he \'served in the Matabele campaign from 18.10.93 to 21.3.94\'. Indeed, Private Scott was one of only 18 men from the 1st Black Watch - one officer and 17 other ranks - who took part in this campaign as mounted infantry, and who went on to receive the British South Africa Company\'s Medal. After exactly two years\' service, he had been granted Good Conduct Pay – though he forfeited this on 6 July 1895. Shortly after, on 10 July 1895, Private Scott was noted to be \'in the hands of the Civil Power\'. He was \'convicted of assault\' the following day - then returned to duty on 12 July 1895. In his soldier\'s records, it was made clear that these two days spent in civil hands did not count towards his pensionable service. Nevertheless, his Good Conduct Pay was restored on 5 February 1896 – following which, on 18 February 1896, he is noted to have commenced service in India. On 19 May 1899, his Good Conduct Pay was doubled, to 2d per day. Private Scott remained in India with the 1st Black Watch throughout the first years of the South African War. On 12 November 1901, at Kamptee, near Nagpur in central India, he agreed to extend his service to complete 12 years with the Colours. No doubt, the 397.8 Rupees he then received as a bounty played some part in persuading him to reach this decision- as it was fully intended to do. At that time, the Empire had a pressing need to retain its trained soldiery – particularly with regard to the continuing conflict in South Africa. On 6 December 1901, the 1st Black Watch, Robert Scott included, arrived there — following which, he campaigned against the Boers in the Orange Free State and the Transvaal. The war ended on 31 May 1902, though Private Scott remained in South Africa until October of that year, when he returned to the UK - landing there on 28 October 1902. He served at \'Home\' for the remainder of his Army career and passed a mounted infantry course at Bulford, on 17 July 1903. However, even near the very end of his service, he forfeited a penny a day Good Conduct Pay on 20 July and, again, on 7 October 1903. Having served for 12 years, Robert Scott was discharged from the Army on 12 October 1903 - still in the rank of Private - on the \'termination of his first period of engagement\'. The BSA Company medal is a regimental rarity as only 17 other ranks & one officer of the regiment were awarded it. NEF & Complete with basic biographical & military research details.

HMS Arethusa had a very interesting war & prior to the recipients death Arethusa was assigned to the 3rd Cruiser Squadron in the Mediterranean on completion and was still there at the onset of World War II in September 1939. However, early in 1940 she and her sister Penelope were recalled to the Home Fleet, where they formed the 2nd Cruiser Squadron with the remainder of the class. She participated in the Norwegian Campaign in April 1940, but on 8 May she joined the Nore Command, where she supported the defending forces in Calais and later aided the evacuations from French Atlantic ports. On 28 June 1940 she was a component of the newly formed Force \"H\" at Gibraltar, with which she participated in the action against Vichy French forces at Mers el Kebir in July 1940. With Force \"H\" she took part in convoy protection patrols in the Atlantic and operated in the Mediterranean. During the sortie of the German battleship Bismarck in May 1941 she was employed in Iceland and Faroes waters, but by July she had returned to the Mediterranean, where she escorted Malta convoys and herself ran supply trips to the island. Towards the end of 1941 she returned to home waters and took part in the Lofoten raid in December, where she was damaged by near misses. After refit and repair at Chatham until April 1942, she returned to the Mediterranean in June 1942, where she joined the 15th Cruiser Squadron, operating mostly in support of the resupply of Malta.
