Gnr. John William Stevenson
British Army 69th Siege Battery Royal Garrison Artillery
from:Stronsay, Orkney, Scotland
(d.4th Nov 1918)
Johnny Stevenson went to France in 1917, the eldest son of John and Mary Stevenson on the Island of Stronsay,in Orkney.
We do not know much about his time in the war, but he was in the RGA and was killed when a gun carriage rolled back on him, just several days before the war ended. He was 21 and is buried in La Vallee Mulatre Cemetery, France.
One relative visited there in the 1940's and now two of us, his niece and grand niece, are making the journey there.
