Biography

Signaller George Stewart was serving with the 2/4th Regiment Black Watch (Royal Highland) Regiment when he passed through Peterborough East Station on 13 July 1916.  He was stationed at Blickling Camp, Aylesham.

The 2/4th (City of Dundee) Battalion of the Royal Highlanders (Black Watch) was formed at Dundee in September 1914 as a second line unit and moved to Broughty Ferry on Tay Defences.  In January 1915 it moved to Hawick and attached to the 2nd Seaforth & Cameron Highlanders Brigade in the 2nd Highland Division, before moving to the Bridge of Earn in mid-1915.  In October 1915 the formation became the 191st Brigade in the 64th Division at Auchterarder.  In November 1915 it was absorbed into the 2/5th Battalion and moved to Norwich in May 1916 and soon on to Kelling Heath.  It was disbanded on 19 December 1917.  www.longlongtrail.co.uk
