Harry was born June 13, 1896 in Ellon, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Harry's siblings were: Alexander, Margaret Jane, James Scott, Elizabeth "Minnie" (aka Lizzie), Robina Copland, William W., Robert Wright McDonald Fenton, Mary Ann and Alice.

He immigrated from Glasgow, Scotland to Quebec, Canada on June 12, 1911 on the ship Saturnia with his parents and siblings Elizabeth (Lizzie), Robert Jr., Mary and Alice.

Private Harry Stewart-Wynne Fenton served in the Army for the Canadian Infantry (Western Ontario Regiment), 1st Battalion (service #407114).

The Attestation Papers dated Jan 28, 1918 are actually papers correcting Harry's name. According to this document, he originally enlisted June 4, 1915 as Harry Fenton and this paper was to correct his name to be Harry Stewart Fenton instead. It apparently was signed at Witley Camp in England.

He is memorialized on the Ellon War Memorial, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, The Commonwealth War Graves Commission, Veterans Affairs Canada's Book of Remembrance and the Maple Leaf Project
