Robert Stuart (British Army Officer) - Later Life, Death, and Legacy

Later Life, Death, and Legacy

Stuart retired in 1883 and settled in Leamington Spa, where he died on 17 June 1901. Two of his nephews, William Horwood Stuart and Charles Leader Justice Stuart, the sons of his brother the Reverend William Stuart (Vicar of Mundon, Essex and Rector of Hazeleigh, Essex), also entered the diplomatic service and served around the Black Sea, although both also had their careers cut short: Charles drowned in the Danube at Brăila in Romania in 1885 and William was murdered at Batum in Georgia in 1906.
