Talk:Kathleen Scott

Titles
Without proof that Scott was posthumously knighted, I dispute the assertion that she was a widow of a knight. See Talk:Robert Falcon Scott for discussion. JackofOz 00:49, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

According to both her own autobiography, Self-Portrait of an Artist and the memoir her granddaughter Louisa Young wrote about Kathleen's life, A Great Task of Happiness, after Scott's death Kathleen was granted "the rank, style and precedence that would have been hers had Con lived to be made a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath, as the King had intended."

 * Are you sure that 'Kathleen Scott, Baroness Kennet' is correct? Did she not become Kathleen Young on her second marriage? Or did she retain the name Scott as her professional name? Valetude (talk) 12:18, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Year of birth
Is the year of birth given for Kathleen Scott -- 1870 -- correct? If so, that would make her 52/53 when her second son was born. Not impossible, I know, but I suspect that there may be a mistake here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.11.134 (talk) 05:28, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

She was born 27 March 1878. Tulliux (talk) 16:32, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Personal Life
I would think that the line about Nansen is dubious, and should be removed as it is only a suggestion in his book and it is far from definitive nothing more than a friendship is mentioned in either her biography or her autobiography. She had lead a remarkable life and there are far more things of note that she did do in her life that have been documented, and not included in her entry, rather than just speculation. I have just a passing interest in this, could some one with a better understanding of WP Terms please look at this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.86.192.231 (talk) 14:21, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

The wording suggests that she learned of her first husband's death before it happened. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hamish Lawson (talk • contribs) 11:07, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

Huntingdon War Memorials
Kathleen Scott also executed the sculpture for the war memorial at Huntingdon, England featuring a sculpture of a British infantryman. In his book 'The Glorious dead, Figurative Sculpture of British First World War Memorials' author Geoff Archer notes that Kathleen Scott had met Rodin "whose famous Thinker appears to have had some influence on the Huntingdon figure."

Statue
'A statue at Oundle School entitled "Here Am I, Send Me" is erroneously held to be modelled on Peter Scott.' It doesn't say whether this was sculpted by Kathleen Scott. Valetude (talk) 11:10, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Changed to "Her statue ..." Nedrutland (talk) 12:14, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

World War One
Hi, I am new to Wikipedia but would like to offer a suggestion for Kathleen Scott's page. I have been conducting some research on the work of Sir Harold Gillies during the Great War and found that Scott had worked as part of the team at Queen's Hospital, Sidcup. The primary role of the hospital was to provide reconstructive surgery to wounded soldiers and Scott worked as a sculptor taking plaster casts of patients' faces to aid this process. Here is a link to a BBC article with a brief description, but I'm sure more information is available: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-15659319. I think this would fit in with the page, but would be welcome to any thoughts or feedback on this information. Thanks Energhelz (talk) 16:27, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
