William Stewart from Lossiemouth, Drainie, Elgin, Scotland enlisted with Rimington's Guides in 1899. He was discharged in January 1901 and joined Damant's Horse as a Sergeant) in April 1901, being discharged after serving his term in December 1901. "Stewart, Wm," is shown as entitled to a great set of clasps on his QSA medal; Belmont, Modder River, Paardeburg, Dreifontein, Johannesburg, Diamond Hill, Wittebergen and Relief of Kimberley. Notes from a member: The QSA roll comments that he "reenlisted". A further notation is rather hard to read; but appears to say: "issued 22/2 -or 3/ 11 to Sister Ann Stewart at an address I simply cannot read. The roll for the King's Clasps for Damant's says that he was additionally entitled to the clasp South Africa 1901 - but NOT to the Kings South Africa medal. His number on the Kings claps roll is 32855 and rank is Sgt."
Relatives of William would be interested in any information of what may have happened to him between 1901 and 1911 in South Africa. We have the address of his sister Ann.
