Paul Geoffrey Scorer was born at Kensington, London on the 3rd of May 1905 the only son of George Oakley Scorer FRIBA, an architect, and Amy (nee Lock) Scorer of 21, Warwick Gardens, Earle Court in London. He was christened at St Mark’s Church, Marylebone on the 7th of June 1905. He was educated at Westminster School where he was up Homeboarders from the 26th of September 1918 to Easter 1922. On leaving school he became the manager of a Colonial import and export firm, dealing and shipping cocoa and sugar. He was married on the 26th of February 1939 to Natalie (nee Frank, later Norman) and they lived at 46, Corringham Road, Golders Green in Middlesex. They had two sons, Michael, born in 1940 and Peter, born on the 15th of October 1942.
Following the outbreak of war he volunteered as an Air Raid Warden.
He was commissioned as an Acting Pilot Officer on probation in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve on the 1st of April 1942 was confirmed in his rank on the 1st of June 1942. He was promoted to Flying Officer on the 1st of December 1942. He was posted to Y Service on board the sloop HMS Egret (L75), under the command of Lieutenant Commander John Valentine Waterhouse DSO RN, which was made up of Royal Air Force personnel who were monitoring the German’s use of an anti ship radio controlled missile system, the Henschel 293 glide bomb, which had been mounted on enemy aircraft and was being deployed against Allied shipping with some success. Paul Scorer and his team of two signallers were using the Enigma machine to intercept German signals in an attempt to give early warning of an attack. His commanding officer on board was Squadron Leader Cuthbert William Prideaux Selby, who acted as the coordinator between the ships and Coastal Command.
On the 27th of August 1943, HMS Egret was one of two sloops, two destroyers and three frigates which arrived in the Bay of Biscay, some 30 to the west of Vigo, to relieve ships of the 40th Support Group. Later in the day the group was attacked by eighteen Dornier 217 aircraft carrying the Henschel 293 bombs damaging the destroyer HMCS Athabaskan and scoring a direct hit on HMS Egret which was virtually cut in half and sank very soon afterwards. The destroyer HMS Grenville was also attacked but managed to out-turn the bomb and was not damaged.
In addition to Paul Scorer and Cuthbert Selby, one hundred and ninety four officers and ratings from the Royal Navy were lost when the ship went down. Thirty two survivors were picked up by HMCS Athabaskan.
He was Mentioned in Despatches, which was announced by the Air Ministry on the 14th of January 1944.
He is commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial Panel 129.
