Pte. John Armit Stewart
British Army 1/7th Btn. Black Watch
from:Thornton, Fife
John Stewart was captured near the village of Beugny, which lies between Cambrai and Bapaume, on day one of the Spring Offensive. Records show that he was not wounded at the time of capture and that he was sent to Parchim camp, although he may also have passed through Friedrichsfeld at some point.
Until his death in 1966, he barely spoke about the war, although my father recalled him talking about gathering nettles to make soup.
