	Scott, John Edgar: 1940 Truck This picture may have been taken on the same date as the nearby rabbit hunt photo. The back of the photo is stamped by the Maresch Studio, 106 N./ Francis St., Terrell, Texas.
	Scott, John Edgar: 1943 Rabbit Hunt Edgar is pictured with an unidenfied hunting partnter. The rabbit may not have ben the reuslt of a hunt- it may simply have strayed too close to a dog!
	Scott, John Edgar: 1943c celebrating the military
	Scott, John Edgar: 1943 with his bride, Vivian The picture of Edgar & Vivian is dated 23 April 1943, 10 days after their marriage ceremony. Since Edgar would soon to deploy for training as part of the European invasion force, they were forced to hold off on a honeymoon until October 1945 - a nearby postcard sent by Vivian towards the end of the honeymoon relays her reluctance to be returning home to Texas - and to work. Their marriage was an improbable success; they were married six days after meeting, yet, their wonderful marriage endured until Edgar's death in 1986.
	Scott, John Edgar: 1943 v2 Photo was taken at the 2nd Infantry Division studio at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. It quite likely became an "exchange" photo after his new wife, Vivian Lucile (Howard), shared her photo with him.
	Scott, John E: 1943 Fort McCoy Pillow Edgar sent this pillow case to his wife, Vivian, shortly after returning to Fort McCoy, WS. He had met and married her while home in Texas during a two-week emergency leave period. They would not enjoy a honeymoon until Edgar returned from Europe. The pillow case reads: My Wife A darling little wife She blesses all my life You are my partner sweet You make my life complete Their daughter, Lana, found the item in their cedar blanket chest after they both died.

	Scott, John Edgar: 1944 Northern Ireland Edgar is shown with friends he and fellow cooks made while staging in Northern Ireland for the Normandy invasion.
	Scott, John Edgar: 1944 Northern Ireland This picture of Edgar was taken at H. Allison & Son, 42 Scotch Street, Armagh, Ireland and sent home to his wife, Vivian. Staff Sergeant John E. Scott was assigned to the 702 Maintenance Company of the 2nd Infantry Division in early 1944 when the Division was staging for the Normandy invasion.
	2nd Infantry Division (2ID) Omaha Beach: 1944 JUN 07 This classic photo of 2ID soldiers climbing up the slope from Omaha Beach was enlarged and hung on a wall in the WWII Museum in New Orleans, LA. Veeta (Scott) Biggers visited the museum in January 2016 and as she glanced up at the photo, the second soldier in the column looking at the photographer drew her attention. While there may be no way to confirm his identification to an absolute certainty, she was convinced that it was her father, SSG John Edgar Scott, who was with the 702 Ordnance Company, 2ID on that very day!
	Scott, John Edgar: 1944 June 07, Omaha Beach Veeta (Scott) Biggers visited the WWII Museum in New Orleans in January 2016 and as she rounded a corner there was a large photo of 2ID men climbing up from Omaha Beach. A soldier in the column drew her attention and she in turn snapped a photo of him to share with her family. While there may be no way to confirm his identification, it sure looks like SSG John Edgar Scott who was with the 702 Ordnance Company, 2ID on that very day!
	Scott, John Edgar: 1944 Bivouac John Edgar Scott is depicted 2nd from the right at a unit bivouac during WWII...the location is presumed to be on the mainland of Europe rather than at the 702 Maintenance Company, 2nd Infantry Division staging area in Northern Ireland prior to the June 6, 1944 invasion.
	Scott, John Edgar: 1944 France On the back of this photograph of Edgar is a typed note: "June 1944 in France in no mans land." The alphanumerics (2-X-702) on the right front bumper reflects Edgar's unit designation: 2nd Division 702nd Ordnance Company.
	Scott, John Edgar: 1944 Dog Tags The format for the Army m1940 dog-tags changed four times between December 1940 and April 1946. Edgar's dog-tags reflect last version. Two notations were added in later years: a second Tetanus shot in 1950 and his RH factor: "NEG". Although the RH factor was available in 1940, the US military did not use it during WWII. Edgar likely had an earlier set of dog-tags since he enlisted in 1940. Name: SCOTT, JOHN E Service number: 18011516 Blood type: O NEG Religion: P (for Protestant) Tetanus shot dates: T44 and T50 www.5ad.org/ArmyDogTags.htm
	Scott, John Edgar: 1945 Belgium Edgar's 2ID unit spent October 1944 thru January 1945 in a variety of bivouac locations in Belgium. The back of this photograph indicates it was taken in January 1945; since his unit was in Verviers from late December thru late January, Verviers is probably where the photo was taken.

	Scott, John Edgar: 1947 USAT Thistle Edgar may have taken this ship to Adak, AK in 1947 since it appears that Adak is in the left background. The photograph was found in Edgar's photo album - and was part of his collection from his time on Adak. (Interestingly, a relative of Regis' sailed on the ship in 1931 when it was named the S.S. Munargo, before it was reconfigured as a hospital ship, and then a USAT. See note below. The S.S. Munargo is pictured elsewhere on this website. ) Laid down, 30 September 1920, as the Passenger/Cargo Liner SS Munargo for the Munson S.S. Co., at New York Shipbuilding Corp., Camden, N.J.

	Scott, John Edgar: 1921 Texas Birth Certificate
	Scott, John Edgar: 1921 Chronology This document reflects the chronology of John Edgar Scott's life with emphasis on his military assignments. His daughter, Veeta, retains the original documentation.
	Scott, John Edgar: 1940 Enlistment Edgar's enlistment record provides all manner of intersting and useful information. The change of address appended to the bottom reflects his move to Louisana on maneuvers with the 2nd Infantry Divison prior to shipping out to Northern Ireland. Thirty-three (33) years later his future son-in-law, Regis Carr, would find himself living in the same town, Leesville, following an assignment to Korea with the same division.
	Scott, John Edgar: 1940 Enlistment (Service Record) Edgar Scott is shown on page 3 of his Service Record as having enlisted on 2 August, 1940. This summary document restates the data found on his Enlistment Record.
	Scott, John Edgar: 1940 Enlistment Record This enlistment record shows that Edgar (19) enlisted on 2 Aug 1940 at Fort Sam Houston, TX. Prior to his enlistment he was paid $15/week while working as a laborer and having completed but two years of high school. The physical examination page of the record shows that his right shoulder was 1.5 inches lower than his left and that he was 69" inches tall, weighed 145 pounds and had 20/20 visoion. Attached to the record is a change of address form that indicated as of 27 August, 1942 his mother could be reached at a new address. The form was completed while Edgar could be reached via Army Post Office #2 in Leesville, LA. (Thirty_five years later his son-in-law, Regis, would find himself in the same city while also serving in the Army.)
	Scott, John Edgar: 1941 Promotion to Sergeant (Temporary) While particpating in maneuvers in Lousiana and after being in the Army for just one year, Edgar was promoted to sergeant (temporary).
	Scott, John Edgar: 1943 church certificate
	Scott, John Edgar: 1943 Marriage to Vivian Scott This is the marriage license for John Edgar Scott & Vivian Howard. The license was granted on 12 April 1943 and the ceremony was conducted the following day by Rev. John L. Hyde in Kaufman County, TX.
	Scott, John Edgar: 1945 Chronology (WWII Bivouac Locations) This document lists the locations that the 702nd Maintenance Company of the 2nd Infantry Division occupied in the months following their landing in Normandy. Edgar was assigned to this unit for the duration of his deployment in Europe. The locations are reflected in both the nearby Scott-John-Edgar Chronolgy document and in the map tack locations in Edgar's individual page on this website. After landing at Omaha Beach, on 09 June 1944 the unit moved inland to Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer, France and continued its combat support operations on the mainland until 08 May 1945 when it reached Plzen in the present day Czech Republic - a straight-line distance of 1232 kilometers. The eastward journey would be made in 36 segments; as short as 3km and as long as 701km. It does not include the return legs used to reach the French port (Le Havre) from which the 2ID would return to the USA. Those legs would not have included T-SGT John Edgar Scott since he had been reassigned to the 799th Ordnance Light Maintenance Company in June 1945. Combat units almost immediately began planning redeployment to the USA - an indication of how quickly the Army was redirecting its operations towards Japan - even though some units remained as occupation forces in Germany. How Technical Sergeant Scott traveled back to the USA is not certain since the National Archives advised that the shipping records for all unit re-deployments were intentionally (and inexplicably) destroyed in about 1951. It is known that TSGT Scott arrived safely at Camp Patrick Henry, Virginia on 27 September 1945 and sent a telegram to his wife acknowledging same.
	Scott, John Edgar: 1945 Discharge Edgar was discharged from the Army upon return to the United States from war in Europe. His discharge was for the convenience of the government, e.g., demobilization. He had been awarded Army Campaign Medal with 5 Bronze stars for participation in combat operations in Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes, and Central Europe. He had been overseas continuously from 8 October 1943 until 27 September 1945 which was calculated to be 1 year, 11 months, and 20 days. Ten days at each end of that timeframe were periods of transit at sea. He was given a mustering out pay of $300. He paid $6.60 for each month for life insurance which he chose to discontinue after mustering out. He was issued a lapel button recognizing his total service of 5 years, 2 month and 5 days. The home address listed was that of his sister-in-law, Beulah Mae Howard Brannon.
	Scott, John Edgar: 1946 Enlistment This was Edgar's 2nd enlistment.
	Scott, John Edgar: 1946 Promoton in the US Army Air Corps Effective 26 June, 1946 Edgar was promoted to Staff Sergeant (E-6) while stationed at Adak, AK with headquarters at Fort Richrdson, AK. The orders read "He is to observe and follow such orders and directions from time to time, as he shall receive from his Superior Officers and Noncommissioned Officers set over him, according to the rules and discipline of War." The cerificate was signed on 4 April, 1947.
	Scott, John Edgar: 1950 DD214 This document summarized Edgar's 2nd period of military service. The 1st included his wartime service plus an additional year. He took a break in service and then rejoined the Army. This period ended when the USAF was created. A third DD214 issued in 1961 covers all three periods of service.
	Scott, John Edgar: 1950 USAF Re-enlistment
	Scott, John Edgar: 1951 USAF Appointment to Staff Sergeant Edgar was appointed a Staff Sergeant (E-6) in the Air Force with the same date of rank that he held in the Army Air Coprps. The appointment indirectly reflects the creation of the Air Force as a separate branch of the military on September 18, 1947 under the National Security Act of 1947. It is not clear why it took nearly four years to reflect his Air Force rank. It is entirely possible that units were incrementally transferred to the USAF from the Army - or that Edgar did not request an inter-service transfer until he returned fromm Adak, AK.
	Scott, John Edgar: 1959 Buyer's statement Joseph D. Langford submitted the statement of his closing costs for the land Edgar purchased thru the Veteran's Land Board. A story about said land is elsewhere on this website.

	Scott, John Edgar: Chronology
	Scott,John Edgar: 1944 Spearhead This copy of the 2nd Infantry Division newspaper was probably sent home to Vivian. It contains remarkable stories, many of which retain historical prominence : Battleship Tirpitz Sunk; In eastern France: 3rd Army Troops took Metz forts; Russians were striking for Budapest; In Italy, the 8th Army gained 2 miles; Japanese massed for a breakout on Leyte; 14th USAF destroyed base in China; General Eisenhower asked public to join 6th War Loan drive; Compulsory military training was main problem facing 78th Congress; Roosevelt retained old cabinet - except Vincent to become assistant president; Boeing announced a post-war period transport with range and altitude of the Flying Fort; Commander Buckley who was decorated for getting General MacArthur away from Philippines was awarded LOM for invasion planning; Ethyl Barrymore missed 1st perfromce in 50 years; Army Air Transport, Fire Ball Express, set record in India; Green Bay Packers defeated the Cleveland Rams 42-7
	702 Ordnance Company, Second Infantry Division (2ID) (June 1942 - May 1945) The document lists the bivouac sites occupied by the 702nd Ordnance Company during WWII beginning on 09 June 1944 at Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer, France just inland from Omaha Beach, to 08 May 1945 at Plzen in the present day Czech Republic - a straight-line distance of 1232 kilometers. The eastward journey would be made in 36 segments; as short as 3km and as long as 701km. It does not include the return legs used to reach the French port (Le Havre) from which the 2ID would return to the USA. Those legs would not have included T-SGT John Edgar Scott. He was reassigned to the 799th Ordnance Light Maintenance Company in June 1945 and almost immediately began his redeployment to the USA - an indication of how quickly the Army was redirecting its operations towards Japan - even though some units remained as occupation forces in Germany. Regardless, how T-SGT Scott traveled back to the USA is not certain since the National Archives advised that the shipping records for all unit re-deployments were intentionally destroyed in about 1951.

	Scott, John Edgar: 1961 JUN 11 TDY to Wheelus Air Base, Tripoli, Libya Edgar was sent to Wheelus Air Base for in-patient treatment of a dental problem. While the period of TDY was shown as 89 days, that was a stipulation to preclude interpretation of the travel as a permanent change of station (PCS). As it worked out, he was reassigned from Jidda (Jeddah) Saudi Arabia the following month and was discharged (retired) from the Air Force in August 1961 while en route home to Texas.
