Carl Alden Scott was born on December 25, 1922, in Little Hocking, Ohio. He had been employed at the Greyhound Bus Terminal before entering service in 1942.

Carl served in a detachment of Office of Strategic Services. He was a member of the Team Claude. On September 17, 1944, Jedburgh Team Claude was dropped near Wolfheze, The Netherlands. The team consisted of the Dutch Capt. Jacobus Groenewoud and the Americans Lt Harvey A. Todd and Technical Sgt Carl A. Scott (WO). Groenewoud and Todd reached the Rhine Bridge at Arnhem. Scott could not locate his radio set on the LZ, and subsequently helped to defend the Oosterbeek perimeter. He was last seen on the 22nd. After the war, his grave was found in the front garden of the manager of the 'De Blauwe Kamer' brickworks near the Opheusden ferry on the northern bank of the Rhine. His date of death was officially given as November 2, 1944. On that particular day, a patrol by men of the 327th Glider Infantry (101st US Airborne Division) in the Wageningen area ended in disaster. Of the three men, 1 Lt Fred J. Rau and S/Sgt Gilbert M. Chinn were killed by German fire. S/Sgt Albert Sandmayer (S-2) was captured, and the three Dutch guides swam back to the Allied lines. After the war, the graves of Rau and Chinn were located alongside the Grebbe near the house of Mr. Tuinier, close to the 'De Plasser' brickworks and due NE of Scott's grave. It seems that Scott was involved in that patrol, but neither the 101st nor the Dutch guides knew this.

In 1945, Sgt Scott was reinterred in the US Military Cemetery Ardennes at Neuville-en-Condroz, Belgium. In 1949, his remains were repatriated to the US where he now lies in the Rockland Cemetery, Belpre, Washington County, Ohio, USA.
