The shop he was working on was completely destroyed, killing 21 men. This was the workshop that was working on the Mosquito. See account of the raid. His name was Anthony James Scott.

Later in WW2, Denys Scott was a Major in the 5th Battalion, Devon Home Guard.

A very interesting group of medals with an interesting story.
