World War 1 One ww1 wwII greatwar great 1914 1918 first battalion regiment
Pte. Charles Stewart
Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders 5th Battalion
(d.29 Sep 1918 )
Here is some information I located on one of my ancestors who was a member of the 5th Battalion, Cameron Highlanders (Queens Own) during World War I
Buried, Plot III, C. 30, Haringhe (Bandaghem) Military Cemetery which is located 18 Km from Leper Town Centre on a road leading from the N308 connecting Leper to Poperinge & on to Roesbrugge. Data regarding his burial at the Haringhe (Bandaghem) Military Cemetery was previously secured from the UK, Commonwealth War Graves 1914-1921 and 1939-1947 however when I visit the Haringhe (Bandaghem) Military Cemetery website I have yet to locate his burial. Sources: Ancestry Sources 1901 Scotland Census Ancestry Family Trees UK, Commonwealth War Graves, 1914-1921 and 1939-1947 Parents: Robert Calder Stewart (1868–1946) Christina McClymont (1867–????)
