Photo of Henry Hutton Scott – Canon Frederick George Scott (1861-1944) was the father of Henry Hutton Scott. In 1922 Scott wrote "The Great War As I Saw It" based on his experiences as a senior chaplain with the First Canadian Division. Scott also recounted this experience in his book. Canon Scott was born in Montreal and was educated at Bishop's College, Lennoxville, Quebec where he received his B.A. in 1881, and later received his M.A. in 1884 at King's College, London. He was Rector of St. Matthew's Anglican Church in Quebec City (1889-1934) excluding the war years. Scott served as senior chaplain throughout the war and was highly regarded by the men at the front lines for his devotion to duty. Scott also published 13 books of poetry and was known as "the poet of the Laurentians". Upon his death in 1944 he left a daughter and four sons. The incident descripted in this Dec. 1st, 1916 newspaper clipping from the Toronto Star was also movingly described in Alexander McClintock's account entitled "Best O'Luck" (1917). McClintock, DCM, accompanied Scott to assist him in locating his son's grave. Both Scott and McClintock's books have been reprinted in recent years.
