A letter written by Captain W. Thompson:
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Revill,
Time nor permits me to write and express my deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your son, Stewart.
His death came as a shock to all of us acquainted with him, because he was under such good care and seemed to be doing very nicely on our visits, although suffering much pain.
You may rest assured that everything possible was done in order to restore him to health again, but the 'Great Commander' chose to take him from us. I can assure you, your son was paid the highest tribute that I think has yet be fallen a Canadian in this war. The padre no doubt has written you, describing the wonderful Military funeral and Church service rendered in his honour.
The civilians of the Belgium town of Brugge, Belgium could not do enough, and I know his name will long remain on their lips.
The boys and myself of this unit will certainly miss Stewart, not only because he was one of us, but as a person who did his work well, and tools risks, in order that he might contribute his share in brining peace to the war-shaken world.
Stewart's last request was that his watch he passed on to his fiancée Miss McQuire and it has been forwarded to you with his belongings, which I trust will reach you soon.
If I can contribute any service to you do not be afraid to write as it is the least one can do for a Comrade who did as much for us.
In Brugge, beside the Afleidingsvaart, there is a park named after Stewart, 'Revillpark', next to Fosterpark and Hamiltonpark. Also named after fallen Canadians.
