Major Alan James Stuart
British Army 4th Battalion Welch Regiment
(d.16th July 1944)
We have recently taken ownership of a book owned by this brave gentleman, Major Alan Stuart of the 4th Battalion, Welch Regiment. His signature and date of ownership (1936) sparked a passionate interest for us to reunite the book with his family.
Captain A Stuart took command of the battalion on 7th of July 1944 following the wounding and extraction of his senior officer. On 13th of July 1944 he was promoted to Major, only for this to be cut short 3 days later when he fell in battle on 16th of July 1944.
If anyone can help our quest we would be very grateful.
