Rather than start a new thread thought I would edit the title and add details for Scott here.

Noble 24th:

[all columns as above]

488, Sidney Scott, Private 24th Regt., 44 years, Military Hospital, Oct 4th**, Phillips, 1st Central South, 14th Row 27th Grave, Consecrated, Portsea.

**1879

Only included Scott due to the typo in the Noble 24th when it came to year.
