Life and military career
The son of the footballer and barrister Charles Scott-Chad, he was born at Kensington and educated at Eton College.[1][2] From Eton he attended the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, graduating as a second lieutenant into the Coldstream Guards in December 1919.[3] He made his debut in minor counties cricket for Norfolk in the 1920 Minor Counties Championship.[4] He made his debut in first-class cricket for the British Army cricket team against Oxford University at Oxford in 1923.[5] He made a further two first-class appearances for the Army in 1924,[5] playing against Cambridge University and Oxford University.[5] In his three first-class matches, Scott-Chad scored 49 runs with a high score of 24.[6] As a bowler, he took 6 wickets at an average of 35.50, with best figures of 2 for 43.[7] He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in August 1929.[8] He retired from the Coldstream Guards in May 1930, upon which he received a gratuity.[9] He toured the West Indies with Lord Tennyson's XI in February/March 1932, but did not feature in any of the three first-class fixtures on the tour.[2] Later that same year he played his final minor counties match for Norfolk, having made a total of 40 appearances in the Minor Counties Championship since his debut in 1920.[4]
He later returned to military service with the Royal Norfolk Regiment, with promotion to the rank of captain in December 1936.[10] He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel in June 1939.[11] After serving in the Second World War, he was nominated for role of High Sheriff of Norfolk in November 1947, alongside Ion Benn and Sir Edmund Bacon.[12] He was successful in his nomination and served as High Sheriff in 1948.[13] Besides cricket, he was also a skilled racquets and squash racquets player who won the army championship five times in succession and retired from military service unbeaten.[2] Scott-Chad died at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington in July 1950.[2]
