CSM. William Steward MID.. British Army Royal Engineers from Kidderminster My Grandfather, William Steward was in the Royal Engineers. Before WWII he was in the reserves whilst working in the building trade as a ‘brickie’ in the Kidderminster area. He was called up to first be a basic trainer for the new recruits, as he told me training those called up to stay alive. He was sent to North Africa before moving on to Italy, fighting up to Monte Cassino. He said North Africa no picnic but nothing prepared you for the horrors and conditions experienced in Italy, cold mud, wet, shells and death. Newspaper was highly sought after so that you could put it inside your tunic and down your trouser legs as insulation.
The only detailed story he told, as he would not talk about the horrors and death, concerned an episode where he as a Colour Sergeant Major ‘borrowed’ a US army jeep that was not being used, and ‘found’ a good number of railway sleepers, transported them back to where he was stationed and excavated a bunker lined it with the railway sleepers then recovered it with several feet of soil. By all accounts it was a great, shell proof, relatively dry and warmer than being under canvas; the only problem some ‘officers’ noticed it and commandeered it for a communications post and he was back outside.
He was Mentioned in Dispatches, for what I don't know. What I do know is that he was strong, over 6 foot tall with a big chest 16 1/2 inch color and came with a hand shake that would break your hand if not ready for it. He was working class and took pride in rank of Colour Sergeant Major, refusing to be promoted to non commission officer ranks; to him it would have been a betrayal of his roots to become an officer.

Sgt. Alfred Stewart . Royal Canadian Army South Saskatchewan Rgt. I have been trying to find information on my grandfather who was a Sgt. with the South Sask. Reg. His name was Alfred Stewart and he may have been known as "Stu".
Update
With a few friends/local historians I have been doing research for some years now on the heavy fighting in the area of the Antwerp-Turnhout Canal in Flanders in September/October 1944. One of the Canadian regiments involved in that region was your grandfather's SSR. They suffered a lot of casualties on the 24th of September 1944 during a failed attempt to establish a bridghead near Lochtenberg (a hamlet of the town of Brecht). Was your grandfather present with the regiment at that time? (Francis Hujbrechts)

Andrew Stewart . Bevin Boy from Forge Street, Glasgow Our father Andrew Stewart was disappointed to be called a Bevin Boy, although born in 1925 I suspect he didn't think he would be called for WW2 but as a precaution trained in the Territorial Army.
He did have fond memories of his time in Newcastle it was, however, tinged with regret over not going in to the main forces.

Dorothy Stewart . Land Army My mother served with the Land Army. Unfortunately she has died and we are trying to trace anything about our family that we can. Her name was Dorothy Stewart and she lived on Hillgate {not sure of the exact address}. She was born on 10th March 1928.
We are led to believe she actually said she was old enough to join, but was in fact too young. The address was in Stockport, Cheshire. I vaguely remember her saying she stayed somewhere near Crewe Wybumberry or something like that. Could you please tell me if there is any way that I can find details about her life in the land army?
I would be grateful for any help you could give me.
