Hi Rich,
The memorial plaque to "Scotty" is located in St. Joseph's Cemetary in Newton, MA. Somewhere in the various books about the 26th (perhaps Ford, or Sibley) there is mention of Scotty's service. No time to dig back thru the text to find it, but I may stuble across it again. It's an interesting story of a young boy who signed up but was underage. I recall reading somewhere that he died from MG fire during St. Miheil battle, but not 100% sure.
Good luck with your book. I owe you some feedback, I know...

Anyone interested in discussing topics specific to the 26th Yankee Division? I'm new to this site, an amature unaffiliated WW1 history buff hopelessy fixated on the 26th Division. Lots to share, always lots to discover. I'll start with a question - has anyone ever connected the story of "Scotty" of WW1 fame to a brass plaque on a boulder in Massachusetts?
Do you find this valuable?
