This intrigue lead him to find out more about the men behind the medals in books such as 'For Conspicuous Gallantry...' and the soon to be published 'Britain's Bravest Soldiers - The First World War'.As well as the personal stories, Scott is on a mission to open up whole subject of the First World War to children, teenagers and adults alike who would not necessarily read 900 page epics on the subject. His latest work, 'World War One: A Layman's Guide' is a perfect introduction to the subject and his 'The Great War 100' project of telling the story of the First World War using infographics (via an iOS/Android app and a subsequent book) has won many plaudits. In 2009, Scott cycled the entire Western Front trench line system (550 miles) raising several thousand pounds for the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal and in the spring of 2013 plans to do another ride for charity, this time even longer and more crazy than the last one.Date Published 1st May 2014
