William Stewart RSF

Not at all sure about this man on Cumnock War Memorial, but he is the only William Stewart of the RSF in Ayrshire who died that I can find.

There was a William Stewart of Skares mentioned as home on convalescent leave but that was in 1918. He survived the war and married. He died in Whitehall pit in 1945.
