Looking straight down at Stuart Manor in the Celery Flats Historical Area, Portage, Michigan.
"Stuart Manor, originally built in 1860, is a charming example of late 19th-century vernacular architecture. This historic home was relocated to the Celery Flats Historical Area in Portage, Michigan, in 1990 as part of an effort to preserve the region’s agricultural and residential heritage. The house's architectural style reflects a practical and modest design typical of farm homes during its era, with clean lines, functional spaces, and period-appropriate detailing. Today, Stuart Manor serves as a centerpiece of the historical park, showcasing the lifestyle of Portage’s early settlers and their connection to the celery farming industry that once thrived in the area."

Lieutenant Kenneth Bruce Stuart of the Durham Light Infantry was the son of Robert and Jane Campbell Stuart, of 23, Old Elvet, Durham. He was killed at the Butte de Warlencourt on the 5th of November, 1916, and is buried in Warlencourt British Cemetery.
Stuart attended the Loretto School in Edinburgh, and the Old Lorettonian Roll of Honour adds more details:
2ND LIEUTENANT KENNETH BRUCE STUART, 6th (Service) Battalion The Durham Light Infantry, was born in January 1896, and was at Loretto 1906 to 1914. Musical Scholar. XV. Corporal, O.T.C. On leaving school he went to the Royal College of Music. After the outbreak of war he obtained a commission in the 6th D.L.I., and went with them to France. During the Battle of the Somme his Battalion was attacking the Butte de Martencourt. Few officers were left, and Lieut. Stuart, who was Signalling Officer, volunteered to lead the assault. Three times the attack was held up by machine-gun fire, but Stuart insisted on a fourth attempt, during which he was shot dead at the head of his men, November 5, 1916.
There is a photograph of Stuart on the Old Lorettonian website.
I have no idea why this banner is in Blakeney church. Using the words "Kenneth Bruce Stuart" + "Blakeney" as search terms on Google produces just one result - these photographs.

American actress Gloria Stuart (1910-2010) played lead roles for director James Whale in The Old Dark House (1932), The Invisible Man (1933) and The Kiss Before the Mirror (1933). More than sixty years later, Stuart won a Screen Actors Guild Award and an Oscar nomination for her performance as the Old Rose in Titanic (1997).
Gloria Stuart was born Gloria Stewart on her family's dining room table on 4th Street in Santa Monica, California in 1910. She was the first child of Alice (née Deidrick) and Frank Stewart. At the time of her birth, her father was an attorney representing The Six Companies. When Stuart was nine years old, her father died as the result of an infection from an injury sustained when an automobile grazed his leg. Hard-pressed to support two small children, her mother soon accepted the proposal of local businessman Fred J. Finch. Her early roles as a performing artist were in plays she produced in her home as a young girl. She was the star of her senior class play, 'The Swan', at Santa Monica High School in 1927. Attending the University of California, at Berkeley, she continued to perform on the stage. Stuart married Blair Gordon Newell,  a young sculptor, and moved to Carmel, where she performed in a production of Anton Chekhov's 'The Seagull' which was transferred to the Pasadena Playhouse in 1932. It was at the Opening Night there that talent scouts for both Paramount and Universal saw her. She decided to sign a contract with Universal, which paid a bit more than Paramount. After a few film appearances, Stuart was selected as one of WAMPAS Baby Stars that year. These were new movie actresses "Most Likely to Succeed". She played lead roles for director James Whale in the horror comedy The Old Dark House (1932) with Boris Karloff, the fantasy The Invisible Man (1933) starring Claude Rains and the drama The Kiss Before the Mirror (1933) with Nancy Carroll and Paul Lukas. In The Old Dark House (1932), she played the glamour role of a sentimental wife who winds up stranded among strangers at a spooky mansion, among the ensemble cast (Boris Karloff, Melvyn Douglas, Charles Laughton, Lilian Bond, Ernest Thesiger, Eva Moore and Raymond Massey). The film was critically praised, and The New York Times called Stuart's performance "clever and charming," with the film later becoming a cult classic. The hard work at the studio estranged her from her first husband. Stuart later helped create the Screen Actors Guild. Stuart was given a co-starring role by director John Ford in Air Mail (1932), playing opposite Pat O'Brien and Ralph Bellamy. She played the leading lady opposite Eddie Cantor in Roman Scandals (Frank Tuttle, 1933), on the set of which she met her second husband, screenwriter Arthur Sheekman. They married in 1934. She was dissatisfied with the roles in which she was cast at Universal and moved to 20th Century Fox. She had some success with The Gold Diggers of 1935 (Busby Berkeley, 1935) as Dick Powell's love interest, and The Prisoner of Shark Island (John Ford, 1936), but she was not to make the leap into the front row of Hollywood stars. In June 1936, she helped Paul Muni, Franchot Tone, Ernst Lubitsch, and Oscar Hammerstein II form the Hollywood Anti-Nazi League. That same year she and writer Dorothy Parker helped create the League to Support the Spanish Civil War Orphans. A few years after having her daughter Sylvia (1935), she left the cinema and sought roles on the stage in New York.
In the 1940s, Gloria Stuart opened an art furniture shop where she created decoupage lamps, tables and trays, many of which sold to stars like Judy Garland and others. Later, Stuart took up oil painting and was very prolific, showing and selling her work in New York, Los Angeles and elsewhere. Her landscapes of The Watts Towers are on permanent collection at The Los Angeles County Museum. She also took up and mastered the art of bonsai and some of her trees are on permanent collection in the Huntington Library Japanese Garden. When her husband fell ill in the 1970s and died in 1978, she returned to acting doing a range of television series. In 1982, she returned to the screen appearing in a brief dance scene with Peter O'Toole in My Favorite Year (Richard Benjamin, 1982). After that, Stuart was in Jack Lemmon's drama Mass Appeal (Glenn Jordan, 1984) and Goldie Hawn's comedy Wildcats (Michael Ritchie, 1986). Stuart learned the craft of fine printing and established a printing press in her home studio called Imprenta Glorias, where she created a body of artist's books. Her book, 'Flight of Butterfly Kites' is in the permanent collection at the J. Paul Getty Museum. At the age of 87, she made a comeback in the cinema. Gloria Stuart won a Screen Actors Guild Award and an Oscar nomination for her performance as the Old Rose, the 101-year-old survivor of shipwreck, in the epic romance Titanic (James Cameron, 1997), starring Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet. Titanic became the highest-grossing film of all time at the time. A vintage publicity photo of her was also used for the image of 'Peg', the sister of butler Alfred Pennyworth, in Batman & Robin (Joel Schumacher, 1997). She played her last film roles in director Wim Wenders' films The Million Dollar Hotel (2000) and Land of Plenty (2004), starring Michelle Williams. In 2010, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences honored Gloria Stuart with a Centennial Celebration. She was the first such honoree to be living for a centennial. At 100 years of age, she had completed her greatest artist's book with her great-granddaughter working as her apprentice and also her final appearance on film in her grandson's documentary about her, entitled Secret Life of Old Rose: The Art of Gloria Stuart (Benjamin Stuart Thompson, 2012) when she died at home at the age of 100 in 2010. Stuart's great-granddaughter, Deborah B. Thompson, produced an e-book, 'Butterfly Summers: A Memoir of Gloria Stuart's Apprentice'.

This is an Ian Stuart Alaska dress. It has a similar back to the Florence (Fabulous flower detail - The ian Stuart Trademark!) but the front bodice is corsetted like the "Truffle" - this gives much more definition than the Florence does, which makes the Alaska more flattering

Based on reports of the German invasion of France in 1940, the US Army realized its tank force was obsolete. The then-current M2 light tank design was upgraded to M3 standard, which added more armor and improved the suspension for a smoother ride. It retained the older 37mm gun, though the Army was aware the 37mm was inadequate for tank combat; the M3 would be used to supplement the more heavily-armed M4 Sherman then entering production. Moreover, US Army doctrine held that tanks were not supposed to engage other tanks, but rather exploit breakthroughs and tear up enemy rear areas. For this, the high speed of the M3 would be ideal. As another function of tanks, according to the Army, was infantry support, the Stuart was well-equipped with no less than five .30 caliber machine guns.
Production began in late 1941, shortly before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The British Army would be the first to use the M3 in combat, which they dubbed "Stuart," for the Confederate cavalry general J.E.B. Stuart (the name that stuck), or "Honey" for its reliability. Though the British found the 37mm to be nearly useless, too short-ranged, and the crew compartment to be very cramped, they liked the Stuart's reliability--it almost never broke down, even in the extreme conditions of the North African desert--and its speed. If Stuarts could not take on German tanks, they could certainly do a great deal of damage to soft-skinned vehicles and infantry.
The US would soon be using the Stuart in combat as well: the first tank-to-tank combat in American history would come between M3s of the US Army in the Philippines and Japanese Type 97s. The Stuarts came off second-best, but generally speaking the two tanks were comparable. American crews fighting in North Africa in 1942 recognized the same problems as the British, but also found the same values. Occasionally, even the Stuart could score notable successes: in 1943 in Tunisia, Lieutenant Colonel John Waters' task force of over a hundred Stuarts engaged a small force of German Tiger Is and succeeded in knocking them out with close range fire to the engine.
Though the US Army did recognize the Stuart's armament to be completely obsolete by 1943, it was still the best light tank in the inventory. A few improvements in armor and crew comfort were made in the M5 design, and though supplemented by the M24 Chaffee in 1944, Stuarts would form the bulk of Army light units until the end of the war. Others would fight in postwar campaigns in China, Pakistan and Angola, and were in Paraguayan service as late as 2002.
One of the lessons learned during the Tarawa campaign of late 1943 was that Japanese static defenses were very hard to crack. One weapon that was highly effective was the flamethrower, but getting a manpack flamethrower close enough to a bunker was a risky proposition for whoever was wearing it. The solution was to mount a flamethrower on a tank. The Canadians had adopted the British Ronson flamethrower on their Universal Carriers in Italy, and the Marines learned about it. 24 M3A1 Stuarts, withdrawn from service in favor of the M4 Sherman, were obtained by the USMC, and had their 37mm main guns replaced by Ronsons. Nicknamed "Satan" by their crews and the Marines that saw them in action, these modified Stuarts would first see action on Saipan in June 1944. As the Stuart was considered obsolete and vulnerable to light Japanese antitank weapons, the Satan didn't remain in service long, before being replaced by modified Shermans.
This Satan shows the modified turret and the barrel of the Ronson flamethrower; it is part of the Pacific display at the National Museum of Military Vehicles in Dubois, Wyoming.
