Cpl. William Stewart MID

British Army 2nd Battalion Highland Light Infantry

from:Glasgow

(d.25th November 1914)

Cpl William Stewart, my grandfather, fought in several battles in the early part of WW1. He was seriously wounded and was treated at Poperinghe Hospital in Flanders where he died of his wounds. He is buried in Poperinghe Old Military Cemetery, remembered with honour.

My father, who was age 7 when his father died, told us the story that the night before he was sent off to war his father, William Stewart, climbed over the barracks wall in Glasgow to see his wife and 3 children before returning. The family never saw him again.
