This is the picture of John Muir Stewart which was printed in the Edinburgh Evening News (newspaper). It would be given to them by his mother who lived in Edinburgh. At the time the newspaper would print the obituaries of all local war dead with a picture until such time as this became impossible because of the numbers. He left a wife and daughter (Mary/May) living at Main Street, Port Dalhousie, have never been able to trace them. His brother Harry (my grandfather) was KIA at the Somme three months after John's death. -
