Hi

Received this request for information and I wonder if the person could be helped (will pass on the information you can provide):

I am seeking information on two men who died during world war one.

Corporal Peter Stewart.

The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Regiment.

Nationality. United Kingdom.

Said to be listed on the La Ferte S Jouarre Memorial of dead heroes.

Died 26.08.1914

Would you have any information on him?

Corporal Fergus Stewart died 27.08.1914 of the Royal Munster Fusiliers

I understand he is registered as Grave 1 B at the Entreux British

Cemetery I do not know where that is.

Can you help me at all. I would be most appreciative

Thank you

Edward
