That's wonderful.  So glad you found it.

I don't know if you have found it, but there is a photograph of Arthur in the Western Mail on 20 July 1915 when he received his commission.  He is in uniform and the article contains some biographical information.

I haven't found the memorial yet, but looks like a day trip to Andover is coming up.

Thanks for the newspaper link

Edward

A newspaper report about him is less than helpful.
It simply says 'The funeral will take place this (Monday) afternoon at Andover'.

By the way, an announcement of his death states that he died of malaria, not TB  :-\

Report from where please.

The Western Mail, 11th February 1924.

Thanks again, just spoken with a lovely lady at Test Valley Cemetery Services who did a look up and I now have the plot number. She is going to e-mail a copy of the plan over showing the area of his grave.

What I have found really sad is that I never knew that my 3.5 year old father and his 2 siblings lost their father so early.

Thanks, I know it was TB from the death certificate and he also spent some time in a TB unit for Officers.

Thanks

Are there 2 separate (but joined) cemeteries there?

Municipal & church?

I am trying to track down where my paternal grandfather is buried and wonder if anyone could have a look at the burial records held at the Hampshire Archives.
 
Arthur Geoffrey Scott died on 8th February 1924 in Picket Piece from TB contracted during the war, leaving his wife and 3 children aged 3½ years to 6 months. He was only 27 years old.

I am guessing at St Mary's as it is nearest cemetery

thanks

Edward

Re  "my brother John"

I took this as referring to John Crosse born 1562/63 in Wisbech and died 1630 in Outwell, Norfolk. He married Grace Fincham
