AMONG the many Campbeltown casualties of the Battle of the Somme, few have a story more poignant than that of Professor George Stewart.
Born in Kirk Street, Campbeltown, in 1878, George was the second of Mary and John Stewart’s nine children. Mr Stewart senior was, between 1879 and 1906, Inspector for the Poor, Collector of Rates and Registrar for Campbeltown.
