204723 Dvr. Walter Joseph Stevens from:West Clandon, Surrey (d.2nd Jul 1916) Walter Joseph Stevens was my grandfather on my father's side. My family know very little about him except that he died in the UK, aged 37, after being gassed whilst in the Royal Field Artillery on the Continent. He was married to Florence Lucy (nee Savage) who had three children by him - William, Percy (Jim) and Charles (my Dad). The information we have about him is taken from the cross on his grave in West Clandon Churchyard, Surrey, where the Cenotaph there records his name as Joseph Stevens. So I am unsure which is his first name - Walter (as on his grave) or Joseph (on the Cenotaph). We believe he was a gardener before the war, possibly at Clandon Park. During WW1 his wife (my grandmother) worked as a "postie" in the village, living in a small cottage owned by the Onslows Family who lived in Clandon Park.
