Pte Isaac Stewart . British Army 7th Battalion Seaforth Highlanders from Glasgow
(d.27 February 1945)
My family has undertaken research into their family tree in recent years. My mum and her brothers discovered an uncle who they had never even heard of - Private Isaac Stewart. Our research has found that he was killed by a US air strike on 27 February 1945 whilst being held as POW and was aged only 20 years old. It feels quite sad that his memory has been buried for so many years but now he has a proper place of remembrance in our family.
