World War 1 One ww1 wwII greatwar great 1914 1918 first battalion regiment

Lt. Daniel Pike Stephenson

British Army 1st Btn. Cheshire Regiment

from:Kingston, Jamaica

(d.24th May 1915)

I am researching for a tribute, the story of Lt. Daniel P. Stephenson who attended our school and achieved academic excellence at and after Wolmer's Boys' School. The tribute will be shared online from our web portal and social media links on the 100th. Anniversary of his death on 24th May 2015, which coincidentally is the 286th anniversary week of our schools' founding. Any help would be greatly appreciated as the information we have compiled is from the Internet and contacting Oxford where he was also a Rhodes Scholar (1911-1914)

Daniel served with the 1st Battalion Cheshire Regiment and was killed in action on 24th May 1915.









Additional Information:

515 Sergeant Daniel Pike Pike-Stephenson King Edward’s Horse (from Medal Index Card). Second Lieutenant (on probation) August 15, 1914 to the 4th Battalion North Staffordshire Regiment (LG Sept 29, 1914). To Be Made Second Lieutenant April 22, 1915 to the 4th Battalion North Staffordshire Regiment (LG April 20, 1915). Killed May 24, 1915 attached to 1st Battalion Cheshire Regiment. All the documents list him as Daniel Pike Pike-Stephenson.

I found my way to your nice tribute site because I have an 1885 Pattern Troopers sword that's scabbard is marked 1.KEH & 515 (his regimental number before he was made an officer)

    The names and stories on this website have been submitted by their relatives and friends. If your relations are not listed please add their names so that others can read about them


    Did your relative live through the Great War? Do you have any photos, newspaper clippings, postcards or letters from that period? Have you researched the names on your local or war memorial?

    If so please let us know.

    Do you know the location of a Great War "Roll of Honour?"

    We are very keen to track down these often forgotten documents and obtain photographs and transcriptions of the names recorded so that they will be available for all to remember.

    Help us to build a database of information on those who served both at home and abroad so that future generations may learn of their sacrifice.




    Celebrate your own Family History

    Celebrate by honouring members of your family who served in the Great War both in the forces and at home. We love to hear about the soldiers, but also remember the many who served in support roles, nurses, doctors, land army, muntions workers etc.

    Please use our Family History resources to find out more about your relatives. Then please send in a short article, with a photo if possible, so that they can be remembered on these pages.
