Canadian Military Service - WWI

     Robert Sparling Scott of Moose Jaw began military service on 6 March 1916 at the age of 17 at Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada, joining the 128th Battalion. He was an unmarried teamster and cornet player (with the Salvation Army). He was described as being 5' 10" tall with a fair complexion, brown hair and brown eyes. On his Attestation (enlistment) papers, he listed his next-of-kin/contact as his father, Walter Scott of Moose Jaw. He was assigned regimental number 782215.¹¹
     On 15 August 1916, at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, embarked with his unit of the 46th Battalion arriving at Liverpool on the 21st.¹²
     On 23 May 1917, He went to France as part of the 46th Battalion and on the 25th was taken on strength in the 45th Battalion.¹³
     On 26 October 1917, at Passchendaele, Belgium, he was wounded in action just over 4 months after joining the 45th Battalion. He received a through and through gun shot wound just above his right elbow, resulting in impaired movement of ring and little fingres. By 31 Oct 1917 he had been invalided to England. He was discharged from the Reading War Hospital on 15 Mar 1918. He embarked from England to return to Canada on 22 Sep 1918. From 11 Feb 1920 to 02 Mar 1920 he was treated in the Manitoba Medical Hospital in Winnipeg for impaired use of his right hand and impaired sensation in the hand and right forearm. Case notes show that after two 5 minute tratments of the wound area with a "wire brush," he had 75% movement in the affected fingers. I would be showing improvment too, if I thought they were going to use the wire brush again.¹⁴ Robert Sparling Scott ended his military service on 22 November 1918 at Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, as physically unfit due to wounds, referring to his gun shot wound in his right arm. He had served for 6 months in France with the 45th (sic) Battalion according to his discharge certificate.
