He is confirmed on the medal roll as being entitled to the two clasps for the Queens South Africa medal. An account of the Balloon section during the Boer War states, “The Royal Engineers balloon section at Ladysmith enabled the defenders to observe very closely what the Boer’s were doing, to discover their laagers, and sometimes to divine their purposes, and it is very credibly asserted that the Boers were greatly vexed by the balloon ascents. It is a notable fact that a balloon is a very difficult object indeed to destroy by gun or rifle fire, owing to elevated position and uncertainty of range. The ballooning section which accompanied Sir Redvers Buller also proved extremely valuable, and it played a particularly useful part during Sir Charles Warren's flanking movement, when the positions of the enemy were discovered and signalled to him.”

George V Military Medal (M.M) 13th Battalion Rifle Brigade, Awarded for Gallantry During a Victoria Cross (V.C) Action on 8th May 1918, Later Being Killed in Action in August 1918, medal was awarded to “B-203236 L CPL W SCOTT 13/RIF BRIG”, official correction to regiment but otherwise good condition. Corporal William Scott was born in 1895. He was from Barnstaple, Devon and enlisted in Stoke Newington, Middlesex. He formerly served in the 7th Battalion Kings Royal Rifle Corps with service number R/1888. He transferred to the 13th Battalion Rifle Brigade. His Military Medal appeared in the London Gazette 7th October 1918. We believe the award was granted for his participation during the attack on the 8th May 1918 at Bucquoy, France. The objective of this assault was to gain observation. Details of the assault were written up in the official report, “Zero hour. The whole operation was planned as a surprise. For this reason zero hour was 2 p.m, when it was hoped to catch the enemy napping. The attack was started on a pre-arranged signal at 2 p.m, and the enemy was taken completely by surprise except on the right flank, where the enemy was very alert. Right Party, Dolls House was occupied, but could not be held against a counter attack, and our troops were driven back slightly. They were reinforced about 4 p.m. by a L.G. Section and hung on to their position till ordered to retire at 5:40 pm 60% casualties. No 1 Party reached their objective but were also counter attacked and driven back slightly at 2:15 pm. They were reinforced by 1 section and held on till ordered to withdraw at 5:40 pm. Nos 2 & 3 parties reached their objectives, but the enemy worked round their right flank and compelled them to withdraw to the edge of the cemetery where they were reinforced by 1 section. This enabled them to advance again and they held their positions till ordered to retire at 5:40 pm. 50% casualties. No 4 Party reached their objective and by determined fighting held it till 10 pm, when they withdrew to our line. No5 party reached their objective and held on till it was seen that troops on the right had withdrawn and the enemy was attacking from that direction. The party therefore withdrew to the original line at 7 pm. No6 party failed to quite reach the enemy position, but got within bombing distance where they held on till dark when they retired as our troops on their right had withdrawn. Nos 7,8 & 9 parties reached their objectives without casualties and consolidated. They were compelled to withdraw when their right became exposed”. It was during this action that Sergeant William Gregg and Rifleman William Beesley were both awarded the Victoria Cross for gallantry. Corporal William Scott was killed in action on 25th August 1918 whilst serving with the 13th Battalion Rifle Brigade. He is buried at Gomiecourt South Cemetery. He was 23 at the time of his death.

Private Hugh McGuffin was awarded the Military Medal for his part in a trench raid on 10th October 1916, the official report details the action for which Private Mc Guffin was awarded the Military Medal for, “2nd Lieut A C MacCormick led rush with great gallantry and determination, and was shot through the head, falling inside German parapet mortally wounded. His last action was to turn and cheer on the men immediately behind him. No 9533 Sgt R Fleming at once organised bombing attacks along parapet to right and left. Many bombs fell into trench and much damage to enemy personnel must have been caused. Private H McGuffin fired at and threw a bomb at German who shot Lieut MacCormick; German believed killed. Severe enemy rifle fire reduced A Group to four effectives, whereupon Sergt R Fleming and Pte McGuffin got Lieut MacCormick out of trench with difficulty, and commenced withdrawal.” It continues to say that “A Group bombers behaved with coolness and effect. In one or two cases our men contrived to catch in the air the German wooden stick bombs and throw them back on the enemy”. Sergeant Fleming was also awarded the Military Medal for this action.
