The family moved to 3 Stuart Road, Higher Tranmere, and were living there when Brayton was killed on 27th May 1918. He is buried at Soissons Memorial CWGC Cemetery/Memorial Aisne France.

Joseph Brayton Scott was #64744 private in the 10th Battalion Cheshire Regiment. See his Imperial War Museum record here.
