Pte Samuel Stewart

Britsh Army 2nd Battalion Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers

from:Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria

(d.16 May 1915)

Samuel Stewart enlisted in Belfast and served with Inniskiling Fusiliers despite the fact he was born in Barrow-in-Furness (ship building links?). His father was born in Ireland around 1865 and married Mary Hewetson from Dalton near Barrow-in-Furness. Sadly, Samuel does not appear on the Barrow-in-Furness Cenotaph but he is listed in Soldiers Died in the Great War and Ireland Casulties of WW1 1914-1918. Samuel was killed in action at the Battle of Festubert on 16 May 1915 serving with the 2nd Battalion.
