Black and white photo taken outdoors of Albert Scott Neilly wearing a Canadian Air Force uniform. Born on 26 December 1915 Scott was the son of Louis and Florence Neilly of Gilford, and a friend of Margaret Canning of Churchill. He enlisted on 27 May 1940, the same day as his elder brother Louis, and both men opted to join the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). Scott became a flying sergeant and served as a flight instructor in Chatham, New Brunswick. He was killed in a training accident at age 26 on 28 May 1942 and buried in Coulson's Hill cemetery. The photo was donated by Kemp Hastewell, son of Margaret Canning Hastewell.
