Andrew Falconer Stewart was killed in action on 7 May 1915, on which date the 5th Battalion, Royal Scots launched a costly attack on Fir Tree Wood - enemy snipers positioned on small wooden platforms in the branches of the trees took their toll and by the time the Battalion withdrew after three hours of fighting, it had been reduced in strength to two companies.

Stewart, the son of Duncan and Janet Stewart of 52 Dalry Road, Edinburgh, has no known grave and is commemorated on the Helles Memorial.
