Hugh Stewart (1884–1934) was a Scottish-born academic, military leader and historian who had major impacts in both England and New Zealand. ==Biography== Stewart was born in Scotland in 1884 to John Stewart, a Presbyterian minister, and Margaret Mackintosh. He attended the public schools in Premnay, then enrolled in Fettes College at Edinburgh. He attended there for one year (1903-4), then transferred to Trinity College, Cambridge, from which he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1907. He spent the next two years working in Russia as a tutor (teaching English). During his education he also served in the Territorial Service. Stewart worked in Russia for two years (1907–09), then spent the next five years in university appointments. When World War I broke out he was in New Zealand, so he enlisted in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, from which he received a commission as lieutenant in the Canterbury Battalion, NZ Infantry Brigade. His brigade served in the Gallipoli Campaign among others. He received a head wound during the fighting at Quinn's Post (June 1915), but returned to action in spite of his wound. He was promoted to Captain in August and to Major in October 1915. He was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in February 1916 and took command of the newly formed 2nd Battalion, Canterbury Infantry Regiment. He served in that position on the Western Front for two years. On 21 February 1918 Hugh Stewart married Alexandrina Kathleen Johnston at Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, England. Just after the cessation of hostilities he was promoted to full colonel, and was appointed director of education for the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. He remained at that post through February 1919. He returned to NZ in December 1919, and was named as a reserve officer. He returned to his pre-war teaching position at Canterbury College. Alexandrina died in November 1920, 14 days after giving birth to a son, Michael. In 1926 Stewart left New Zealand to become professor of Latin at the University of Leeds. On 28 July 1927 Stewart married Margaret Rosamond Poulton at Kinlet, Shropshire, England. The marriage was tragically brief; she died during childbirth in August 1928. In 1929 Stewart was appointed principal of University College Nottingham. On 9 April 1930 he married Margaret Isabel Massey in London. They had two children, a daughter and a son. Stewart travelled to New Zealand on holiday in 1934. While returning to England he died unexpectedly aboard the ship ''Akaroa''. He was survived by his third wife and by his children. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hugh Stewart (classical scholar)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
