From Gary Mitchell, Sandgate Cemetery
Private Henery (Henry) Scotman, 30th Battalion (Reg No-2152), coal trimmer from Shannon Street? Cessnock, New South Wales and Young Street, Carrington, N.S.W., father of five, was laid to rest at Sandgate Cemetery on the 6th August 1921, age 47. ANGLICAN 1-25. 37.
Born at Chelsea, England about 1874 to William L and Ann Scotman; husband of Margaret Scotman nee Musgrove (married 1896, Newcastle, N.S.W., died 1944) of Hunter Street, Stockton, New South Wales, Henery enlisted September 195 at Newcastle, N.S.W.
Admitted to hospital 27.4.1916 (asthma), Henery was invalided home August 1916, being discharged medically unfit (chronic bronchitis) on the 22nd September 1916.
Mr. Scotman’s name has been inscribed on the Cessnock War Memorial.
Henery’s headstone gives us no indication of his service with the 1st A.I.F., so I have placed poppies and a 1914-1918 WAR label in remembrance.
Lest We Forget.
