Colonel Evan George Stewart (史伊尹上校) DSO, OBE, ED, MA (27 March 1892 – 17 December 1958) was a British soldier, teacher and missionary to China.
Stewart was the seventh child of missionaries Robert Stewart and his wife Louisa Katherine Smyly.[1]
He spent the first three years of his life at the Christian mission station at Kucheng in Fukien Province, until his parents were killed in 1895 during the Kucheng massacre; following this he was raised in Ireland, but travelled to Hong Kong in 1910 to teach at St. Paul's College, Hong Kong where his brother Arthur Dudley Stewart was headmaster.[2]
He returned to Dublin to study and then joined the British army in 1915.[2]
After the war, Stewart went on to succeed his brother and become principal of St Paul’s College.[3]
