Comments: Recently my family was made aware of hearsay evidence my Grandfather (William Scott) was court martialed during or after the Korean War for alleged drunkeness resulting in the loss of life of those under his command or control.
William Scott was an enlisted NCO stationed at Schofield Barracks HI at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack while assigned to the 24th Infantry.
It is rumored he attained officers rank for WWII battlefield service and retained that rank as part of the occupation of Japan and into the initial Korean conflict. We think he was part of the 25th infantry at that point, but could have still been part of the 24th.
He was supposedly cashiered at a Court Martial conducted at Presidio (San Francisco CA) and sentenced to a long prison term. As part of subsequent military reviews of the trials during the appeal process, he served some number of years, but to the extent of punishment imposed by the original court.
After bumming around after his release from military prison, he supposedly committed suicide.
I am an active duty Air Force Officer assigned to the Pentagon, but please do hold that against me. My family would like to know the truth, no matter how painful.
If anyone out there can shed light on this incident, we would appreciate it...if you know anything about William Scott's WWII service, we would like to know that also because the national military personnel center fire destroyed any references we may have found at that source.
William Scott would have been viewed as an old guy to most of the Korean War veterans who were new enlisted troops at the time. There may be former officers who know something also. Please Help.
I can be contacted at office 703-601-2108 or e-mail davida.scott@pentagon.af.mil or send message to my home 14481 Idlebrook Court Manassas VA 20112
Sincerely,
David A. Scott, Major, USAF
