Hi All! I sent for some war records for my grandfather George Stewart a
few years ago and received them. Then a couple of weeks ago I received
some war papers for another George Stewart. the ones for my grandpa
were for WWI and these are for the year 1901.

If these belong to someone I will mail them to you. Here is what is
contained so that you can possiblly identify him as your ancestor.
