Mr. Walter M. Stewart was, for many years, a foremost member of the DCRA. As President of the Macdonald Stewart Tobacco Company and a devote marksman, he was a major benefactor of the Association. He sponsored the Macdonald Stewart Grand Aggregate, the major Aggregate within the DCRA Annual Prize Meeting, and he initiated the tradition of the Macdonald Stewart Dinner at the Chateau Laurier Hotel in Ottawa to honour the winner of the Grand Aggregate.
Walter Stewart loved the Canadian Pavilion at Bisley and dedicated much time, effort and financial support to the DCRA home in England. Walter Stewart passed away on July 20th, 1967. In 1975 the Pavilion was rededicated in his memory as “The Macdonald Stewart Pavilion”.
