Private Stephenson's name emerged from the War Office's "missing" exercise conducted in 1942 and documented at The National Archives. Because of the relatively common nature of his names the genealogical research proved less conclusive than was hoped, therefore family assistance is very much required to expand this Memorial Page and add relevant information.
