He entered the war on the 12th October 1914, and served in the Indian Expedition Force – as a Lieutenant and then the R.A.M.C. attached to the South Staffs regiment as a Captain. While serving in the RAMC he was awarded the Military Cross "For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He worked untiringly, attending to the wounded in the open under heavy fire during an engagement and showed splendid courage and resource.” He was also awarded an additional medallion (the following is a transcript of a letter he had with the medallion) - “Capt W L Scott M.C., RAMC. 1st Bn South Staffs. Regt. Herewith souvenir Medallion from General MONTOURI who commanded during the battle on June 15th and 16th 1918, the 6th Italian Army (in the battle on the Asiago Plateau) of which the British Italian Expeditionary Force formed part." -(Kindly provided by Rosemary Winter-Scott). On 18 September 1923 at the Parish Church of St Augustine in Kensington, London William Logan married Lucy Lee, an English girl and a daughter of John Trenchard Lee. Prior to the wedding he had been living at 42 Stanhope Gardens SW7 and Lucy Lee at 2 Grenville Place SW7. William worked as chief Medical officer for the Post Office in London. William and Lucy had one child Christopher Logan Scott born on 29th September 1928 at 112 Haverstock Hill, Camden, Hampstead, London. At that time the family were living at “75 Campden Street, Kensington, W” In the 1933 Medical Register William Logan Scott MC is recorded as at the address c/o Glyn, Mills and Co. Whitehall London SW1. His qualifications are recorded as “M.B. Ch.B 1911. U Glasg”. In the 1938 telephone directory W. L. Scott was still living at 75 Campden Street W8. William died at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester. He was 56 years old and his death is recorded as “Intestinal obstruction and Acute Appendicitis”. The family story is that he died from a bungled appendix operation. The death certificate shows that his wife Lucy Scott recorded his death the following day.
