Gerald Joel Scott was born on the 27th of April 1899 and entered the Royal Navy on the 5th of February 1917. His first ship, in which he served as Midshipman, was H.M.S. King George V. He was put on the retired list in the inter-war years, but returned to service for the Second World War. His D.S.C. was awarded for service in H.M.S. Port Quebec, a minelayer involved in establishing the Northern Barrage. He was later posted to the Far East. After the war, he returned to work in the family jewellery business, becoming a prominent member of the British Jewellers' Association.
