Henry Scott served with the Royal Berkshire Regiment and died in France in 1918 - have all information on him but I am at a halt with his brother William. William was born around 1897 in Motcombe, Dorset, the son of Robert Scott and Jane Thompson. I have found a copy of a army record (the pink card which details medals awareded etc) on Ancestry for a William Scott who also served with the Royal Berkshire Regiment it states he entrered the theatre of war on the 16-12-15 in France and in the Remarks section says that he was transferred ZAR.

Does anyone know if I can identify this person as being Henry's brother. I have tried to find marriages after 1915 but to no avail.

Please can anyone help solve this mystery.
