Hi
I am looking for information on three long lost brothers.
John Stewart was born in Plockton in 1897. Joined the Seaforth Highlanders in 1914 and fought in France and Flanders. nothing from him since 1921.

William Stewart born Dingwall Ross Shire 1903 left for Australia in 1924 on board the Ormonde, came back for a holiday in 1947. he sailed to Fremantle.

Kenneth A Stewart b Dingwall 1900 served I the West Surrey's and worked as a footman for the Duke of Buckingham. last seen on a holiday/work in India 1920.

Any thing on these men would be gratefully received.

Hi James - any idea if any of these chaps married? If so, do you know spouse details?

Who were their parents (can be useful if shown on overseas deaths).

I don't suppose you've got actual dates of birth?

What was the 1921 event for John Stewart?
