During the First World War, St John served as a Private in the London Regiment (his service numbers were #514041 and #8219), although the Roll of Honour informs that he served with the Highland Light Infantry. To this day the London Regiment is known as one of the largest companies ever created in the British Army. By the end of May 1915 it included 82 battalions. All soldiers in the regiment wore uniforms made of homespun cloth commonly known as Hodden Grey, but each of the battalions wore their own unique cap badge to avoid inter-clan rivalry.

It is unclear what happened to Richard St John after the war, however some records indicate that he was travelling (on the "Olympic" White Star Dominion shipping Line) from New York to Southampton in June 1923. His date and place of death is still unknown. Richard St John is commemorated on The Glasgow School of Art's First World War Roll of Honour.

Originally from Bridge of Allan in Stirlingshire, Stewart was educated at Dollar Academy before attending Gray’s School of Art in Aberdeenshire. His early inspiration came from his father, who initially trained as an optical instrument maker, but later taught evening classes in silversmithing after attending the same classes himself for a number of years, Stewart sat in on some of these early classes.

Stewart established his workshop in Dunblane in 1978. He always worked with a small team of skilled craftsmen. His father, an industrial designer, was a leading influence in his life as he had a keen interest in silversmithing. His brother, an engineer, joined him when he retired which explains why Stewart used a hydraulic press, not a tool normally associated with silversmithing, for very large commissions.

One of his most prestigious commissions was for the Scottish Parliament, the Honours of Scotland sculpture which sits in the main hall of the parliament building is arguably one of the most viewed pieces of contemporary silver in Britain today. Like many of his pieces, it invokes the history and heritage of not only the craft, but in this case the Scottish nation, and also the simple flowing lines for which he is so known. Claret Jugs and bowls were a particular favourite of his to make, he once commented ‘Claret jugs are lovely to make… you can express a lot with a jug – generosity, a convivial gathering – they are such an expressive thing.’

In 2020, The Scottish Goldsmiths Trust was generously gifted the entire contents Graham Stewart’s workshop, including the tools, machinery and books he collected throughout his career and used on a daily basis. It was Stewart’s wish, and the wish of his family, that these continue to be used to support early career silversmiths in Scotland. These are now at the Marchmont Silversmithing Workshops, a new, fully-equipped workspace for silversmiths, developed by the SGT in partnership with Marchmont Makers Foundation, with additional support from the William Grant Foundation.

Received GSA Diploma in 1912 for Drawing and Painting.

Company: The University of Glasgow.

James Templeton and Co. was established in 1843, making Chenille, Axminster, Wilton and Brussels carpets. Technological innovation and design skill brought the company considerable worldwide success throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, with its products in high demand in the domestic and commercial markets. It employed artists of international calibre such as Charles Voysey, Walter Crane and Frank Brangwyn, with their carpets used in Coronations and in liners such as the Titanic.
In their 1950s heyday they were Glasgow's biggest single employers, with 7,000 employees. Glasgow carpets were exported to all four corners of the globe, with major commissions for parliaments, concert halls and cultural institutions, along with domestic interiors. Famous Templeton carpets include the Regatta Restaurant carpets for the 1951 Festival of Britain, and the Twelve Apostles carpet made for the Paris Exhibition of 1867.
In 1983 Templeton's merged with another local carpet manufacturer, A. F. Stoddard of Elderslie, to form Stoddard International. A. F. Stoddard had been founded in 1862 by Arthur Francis Stoddard, an American who refused to live in the United States because of the continued slave trade. He regularly addressed abolition meetings in Glasgow, which had tended to side with the South during the American Civil War because of its strong cotton and tobacco routes. Stoddard's went on to produce carpets for the wedding of Queen Elizabeth II, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, Dickens and Jones, Epsom race-course, and Liberty's.
In 1980, the Guthrie Corporation Ltd of London and parent company of British Carpets Ltd (previously James Templeton & Co Ltd, carpet manufactures, Glasgow) acquired a £1.5m stake in Stoddard Holdings Ltd. In return, Guthrie Corporation Ltd transferred British Carpets Ltd's subsidiary companies, including Templetons Carpets Ltd, S J Stockwell & Co (Carpets) Ltd of Glasgow and Kingsmead Carpets Ltd of London to Stoddard Holdings Ltd. The Templeton factories in Bridgeton, Glasgow, were closed down in that year and production transferred to Stoddard's Elderslie site. In 1984, Stoddard Holdings Ltd became a public limited company as Stoddard Holdings plc. In 1988, following the acquisition of the textile manufacturers, Sekers, the company changed its name to Stoddard Sekers International plc . The 1990s and 2000s saw significant financial pressures for the company as consumer fashions moved away from carpeting in favour of wooden flooring. Stoddard's responded to these pressures by focusing on its core carpet market. In 1998, the Sekers business was sold and the company renamed as Stoddard International plc. In 2002, the company closed two production sites, including its headquarters in Elderlie; consolidating production in Kilmarnock, Scotland. However, the financial pressures on the company continued to grow and it went into receivership in February 2005. With no buyer to take the company on as a going concern, its assets were sold, and the liquidation of Stoddard International plc was finalised in 2009.
