BORN:  August 02, 1872 at New South Wales, Australia

Entered Service in the US Army from New York, NY

Earned The Medal of Honor During the Philippine Insurrection For heroism on November 26, 1899 at Passi, Island of Panay, Philippine Islands

From the spring of 1898 until early the following year, most battles in the Philippine Islands were sporadic ambushes of small American patrols in the jungles, as the U.S. Army sought to root out the rebel forces of Emilio Aguinaldo. On November 26, 1899, First Lieutenant George Stewart lead his men in an attack on a rebel force entrenched on the opposite bank of a river. The crossing was made under heavy enemy fire, during which the element was completely exposed. One of the enlisted men fell while crossing and was in danger of being dragged under the water by his heavy equipment. Despite the continuing enemy fire, Lieutenant Stewart plunged into the river to save the struggling man from drowning, and helped him to the shore.
