About the author
M.C. John Ewing is known as the author of The History of the 9th (Scottish) Division, 1914-1919, first published in 1921. Library and bookseller records consistently identify him as John Ewing, sometimes styled as John, M.C. Ewing, linking him with this substantial official-style history of the division.
His book follows the formation, campaigns, and achievements of the 9th (Scottish) Division during World War I, making it valuable both as military history and as a record of the men who served. The initials “M.C.” strongly suggest the Military Cross, and some records describe him as Major John Ewing, though I could not fully confirm the details of his wider life from reliable biographical sources retrieved here.
Because clear biographical information about him is limited in the sources I found, he is best introduced through his surviving work: a careful, commemorative history of one of Scotland’s best-known wartime divisions.
