Cameron Stewart
A Very Unimportant Officer
Life and death on the Somme and at Passchendaele
Hodder & Stoughton ( 2008)
Mud, shells, flies, dinner parties and rats guzzling hair-cream were all part of the courageous life of this ‘unimportant officer’, Alexander Stewart, who fought on the Western Front in three of the bloodiest battles in history. His shocking, but absorbing and darkly humorous personal account was rediscovered by his grandson, the actor Cameron Stewart, who has written the commentary.
