Captain Scovell RAMC - Mount Street Bridge

In the various post Rising reports there is reference to a Captain Scovell RAMC who was driving a car through the Mount Street Bridge area on the first day of the Rising where Richard Waters was shot. Mr Waters was taken to hospital and later died of wounds.

Dr Rowland Hill Scovell (1863 - 1939) was the RAMC Captain driving the car when Richard Waters (a bank official) was shot.

Dr Scovell had previously played rugby for Ireland :
