History
Stewart Grafftey was a Montreal businessman. When enlisting in the military he gave his occupation as “merchant,” and in the 1940s he stated on a voter’s list that he was in the lumber business. He served as a lieutenant in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserves from 1914 to 1920, earning both a Victory Medal and British War Medal. In 1924, then a Second lieutenant in the RNVR, he received the Royal Navy Long Service and Good Conduct Medal for service from 1923 to 1935.
