Private Albert "Bert" Stephens
Army Kings Royal Rifle Corps
This is a very long shot but, in the words of John Mills (....it might just work!
My Grandfather, Bert (Albert) Stephens, served in the KRRC throughout the first world war and , as much as I do not seriously expect anyone to still be here and who actually knew / served with him in all of the various battles, he at least survived to tell the tale (which is why I am here today, of course).
I am mortified by the fact that he gave me his cap badge (Relief of Ladysmith, etc.) and I have somehow lost it in various moves since then, and it is actually very hard to forgive myself for that.
I would therefore very much like to find out more about both his and his comrades' exploits during that terrible time and, if anyone else on this site has any relative or even access to better records that can possibly tell me more about it all, I would be tremendously grateful for your help.
That's about it....any help would be gratefully received.
