Captain (retired) Thomas Ian Scott Bell, D.S.C. (11 March, 1896 – c. 1956) served in the Royal Navy.

His two most complete Service Records disagree on a lot of command information. In 1948, he indicated that his last name was "Scott Bell", without a hyphen.

Life & Career

Bell's father was a lawyer. He passed out of the training establishment on 15 September, 1910 and was appointed to the battleship Africa the same day. He would remain in her until 1 December, 1915.[1]

Bell volunteered for Submarine Service on 13 August, 1915 but continued to serve in Africa until 1 December, 1915 when he was appointed to the sweeping sloop Poppy. On 15 October, 1916 Bell was appointed to Dolphin for a submarine course and on 11 December, 1916 was appointed to the C 23.

On 19 June, 1917 he transferred to the E 46 and was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 15 July, 1917.[2]

On 8 May 1919, Bell was sent to the Periscope School. On 1 August, he emerged and was appointed in command of the "R" Class submarine R 3.

In summer 1920, he travelled to Cologne, Germany. At the same time, he was in charge of nine "E" class submarineds in Group "J" submarines in Reserve at Portsmouth. This oversight ended on 30 September.

Bell was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 15 July, 1925.[3]

Bell reverted to General Service from submarines on 21 January, 1932. Despite this, Bell was appointed in command of H.M.S. Hornet, the former C.M.B. 102, on 9 January, 1933, and for duty with submarines. He left when he was appointed to Effingham for the duration of a cruise on 14 June, 1934.[4]

World War II

On 24 August, 1940 Bell was appointed in command of the Q-ship H.M.S. Beauly, vice Ashton. On 18 October, 1940 he was gazetted a D.S.C. for good service under attack by enemy aircraft.[5]

Bell was placed on the Retired List on account of age with the rank of Commander on 11 March, 1941.[6]

Bell was appointed in command of the leased infantry landing ship H.M.S. Rocksand on 6 November, 1944 and he was mentioned in despatches on 14 November for his work in the Normandy landings.[7]

Bell was promoted to the rank of Captain on 15 July, 1946.[8]

On 24 August, 1956, he was admitted to Haslar Hospital with cerebral thrombosis. He was discharged to his own home on the 28th of August.
