Thank you for that. It would appear this is the same person named in the bible. Thanks to the bible we have discovered he was a Prisoner of War. Great to make the connection. I have added a few more details regarding Stuart's parents to the photograph.

I live in Stonehouse and as a Volunteer for the Commonwealth war graves “eyes on hands on project” Stuart’s is one I look after. I have done some research on him but can’t find any Red Cross prisoner record for him. There is local newspaper report referencing being a prisoner.
Do you think it was his actual bible ?
