He was killed in action on 23rd March 1943 in Tunisia and his grave resides there. He was nicknamed Peter the Spring as he was so fast. I have his Cameron Highlanders badge.

FO Robert "Jock" Stewart . Royal Air Force 40 Squadron from Birmingham Our father, Robert Stewart, flew with 40th Bomber Squadron, Middle East Command between 1942 and 1945. He was a bomb aimer on Wellington bombers operating predominantly out of Qastina in Palestine.
His log book shows that on most of his missions the pilot was W/O Beetz (we believe he was Canadian). We believe the last mission of 40th squadron was 13th of March 1945 (this would have been his 27th birthday).
He survived the war and afterwards went back to his job as a police officer in Birmingham. He passed away in 1980.
We tried without success to obtain the 'Bomber Command Clasp' but it was refused on the grounds that he was based in the Middle East and not Great Britain. He left a wife (passed away 2010), two sons and three grandsons.

Sgt. Robert Stewart . Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve 97 (Straits Settlements) Squadron from Breamar, Aberdeenshire (d.17th Dec 1943) I first read about Robert Stewart when I was reading bombs over Berlin. The book stated that he was buried at Braemar Aberdeenshire. As I was going there on holiday I decided to try and find the grave. After some searching, I found the grave in a small cemetery on the outskirts of Braemar. The grave was intact but had not been looked after for some time. Sgt Stewart was the flight engineer on Lancaster JB219-B one of five Lancasters from Gransden Lodge which crashed on the night of 16th/17th of December 1943 because of bad weather. All seven crew were killed. Most of the crew were buried in Cambridge Military cemetery. I did write to the Royal Air Force Association and The Royal British Legion, both in Aberdeen Scotland not too far from Braemar, but never received a reply from either. It seems a shame that someone so young who gave his life in the service of his country should be forgotten since it is obvious from the grave that no one has been in attendance for some time.

Gnr. Ronald Stewart . British Army Royal Artillery from Bristol My father, Gunner Ronald Stewart, 51st Highland Division, Royal Artillery, BEF was a POW at Stalag VIIIB for 5 years after he was captured just outside Dunkirk. He was 20 years old at the time.
Since his unit was told to leave its guns and cover the retreat of the infantry he was always rather acid about his war experience. "The only thing that can run faster than a French soldier is a British officer" or perhaps vice versa.
My father worked in a coal mine and also a timber mill, and as one of your correspondents says it wasn't easy. There is also a family legend from my aunt who is still alive that he worked in a salt mine but we have always been dubious about this. If there are any records confirming where he worked I would be grateful. I have contacted the Red Cross who have the camp records, but there has been no reply.
There have been photographs of the funeral of a "Perri Daniels" (I have seen photos of the gravestone) and we were told the the funeral party was dressed up for propaganda purposes but I'm afraid the photos have been lost. I have a number of photographs and some letters home.
My father always spoke very highly of the hospitality of the Polish people who had very little themselves but who would leave presents of food on his lathe or who would throw cigarette ends as a work party passed, often at great risk to themselves. I worked for a year in Poland in 1997 and when they heard about my father the managers of the Polish construction company organised the trip to the camp for me.

I have been told he was torpedoed in the Far East sometime during the war, but he never spoke about it. Does anyone remember him?

Lt. William Sangster Stewart MID.. British Army 2nd Btn. Black Watch from Longside, Aberdeenshire On Tuesday 25th of February 1941, 200 Commandos from the 50 Middle East Commandos landed at Nifti Point, Kastellorizo.
Their mission was to capture the island for the Allies and hold it until a garrison of British Army troops arrived in 24 hours time to fortify the island.
My father, William Stewart, was one of the 200 Commandos landed that morning.
Despite the initial success in capturing the island and freeing the local population, the Italians counter-attacked and landed more than 300 troops from torpedo boats and destroyers.
On Thursday, 27th February, Cpl Bill Stewart was trapped leading his section near the Paleocastro Fort. After attacking the enemy, they were pinned down by heavy machine gun fire from the fort. He was subsequently captured with his remaining men and he was imprisoned as a Prisoner of War in Sulmona, Italy, until 1943.
He attempted to escape three times but was recaptured each time. In October 1943 he was finally successful and escaped to the UK. He was awarded a Mention in Dispatches for gallantry and he was later commissioned as a Lieutenant and he continued fighting until the end of the war.
He returned home in 1945, and in 1961 my twin sister, Frances and I were born. Sadly, my father died in 1983.
We salute him and his brave Commando comrades and the courage of the people of Kastellorizo who fought bravely for their home during World War 2.
It is a sad footnote that the Submarine, HMS Parthian, which cleared the way ahead for the Commandos to land on Kastellorizo, was sunk in August 1943 off Brindisi. My mothers first husband, ERA, Albert Nunn was killed on board.
To William Sangster Stewart, to Albert Nunn, to all the British Commandos killed in action, and to all the Kastellorizans who defended their homes so bravely. Lest We Forget, We Will Remember Them.
