What a great Roll. Anyone researching the Westerkirk War Memorial would have very little difficulty identifying the names.
Its worth reading through the names of those who survived. I take it the Ewarts were the local land owners.
From Wikipedia
Lieutenant General Sir John Spencer Ewart KCB (1861 - 1930) was Adjutant-General to the Forces in the British Army.
Military career
Educated at Marlborough College and the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, Spencer Ewart was commissioned into the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders in 1881.
He served with his Regiment in Egypt and fought at the Battle of Tel el-Kebir in 1882. He was also involved in the Nile Expedition in 1884 and served with the Sudan Frontier Field Force from 1885 to 1886. He also served in the Second Boer War.
In 1904 he was appointed Military Secretary and in 1906 he moved on to be Director of Military Operations at the War Office. In 1910 he was appointed Adjutant-General to the Forces: he resigned in March 1914 over the Curragh Incident when British officers stationed at the Curragh Camp near Dublin made it clear that they would not want to march against Ulstermen in the north. He was appointed General Officer Commanding Scottish Command in 1914, a post he held until 1918: he retired in 1920.
He was an Aide-de-Camp General to the King from 1910 to 1914. |
