Listed as PPCLI but he was RAF at the time of his death. **L.S.** Scott served in France in the PPCLI. He transferred to the RFC on 1917-04-26. On 1918-06-20, immediately before leaving for the Front, he took a 'farewell' flight. He put his Camel into a spin but was then unable to recover it before it hit the ground. I can find no explanation why it took 14 months for his training.
