Personal life
Wiseman was educated at Fordyce Academy, Portsoy and Aberdeen University and left the latter institution in 1916 to serve in the First World War with the Gordon Highlanders.[5][9] During his time on the Western Front, he was gassed, wounded and posted missing for a week.[9] He rose to the rank of captain and also served as a lieutenant in the Tank Corps.[10] After the war, he went to India to assist with the restructuring of the British Indian Army.[5]
After leaving the army, Wiseman completed his studies at Glasgow Technical College and later worked as an Assistant Roads Surveyor for Dunbartonshire Council.[5] He took up a Deputy County Surveyor position in Banffshire in 1930, bringing his senior football days to an end[5][9] – his place in the Queen's Park team was taken by Herbert Dickson who held the position for the next decade. Wiseman also married in 1930 and had one son.[5] He served as a major in the Royal Engineers during the Second World War, recruiting and training personnel in Scotland and then working on infrastructure projects.[5]
