Robert Suart (1882 – 27 September 1918) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Stockport County and Fulham as a wing half. He was killed in action during the First World War.
After beginning his career in non-League football with Edgeley, [4] Suart played in the Football League for Stockport County and Fulham, [1] [5] before joining Central League club Port Vale in July 1911. [2] He helped the "Valeites" to win the 1911–12 Staffordshire Senior Cup, the 1912–13 Birmingham Senior Cup and the 1914–15 North Staffordshire Infirmary Cup. [2] Vale went into abeyance in 1915 and Suart returned to Stockport County as a guest. [2]
During the second year of the First World War in 1915, Suart enlisted as a private in the South Lancashire Regiment. [6] He transferred to the Royal Warwickshire Regiment later that year and went on to see action at High Wood, Guillemont, Flers-Courcelette, Morval, Le Transloy, Arras and the Third Battle of Ypres during 1916 and 1917. [6] His division was transferred to the Italian Front following the Third Battle of Ypres, but returned to France in April 1918. [6] Suart was killed during a German counter-attack near Gouzeaucourt on 27 September 1918, just over six weeks before the Armistice. [6] He is commemorated on the Vis-en-Artois Memorial. [3]
