Herbert Stewart

Major-General Sir Herbert Stewart was an English first-class cricketer and British Army officer. A career soldier, he joined the 37th Foot in November 1863 and would later transfer to the 3rd Dragoon Guards. Six years into his military career, he played cricket at first-class level for Hampshire and the Marylebone Cricket Club. Ten years later, he saw action in South Africa in the Anglo-Zulu War under the command of Major-General Frederick Marshall, and served shortly after the conclusion of that conflict in the actions against Sekhukhune I of the Bapedi.
