Pte. George Grant Stephens
Australian Imperial Force 37th Battery Australian Field Artillery
from:Rozelle NSW
(d.13th Aug 1918)
My second cousin, George Stephens was an apprentice shipwright( in a protected industry) who volunteered and was in the first replacements at Gallipoli transferring to 37 battery after recovery from shell shock.
He was considered the darling of the family, of Scottish heritage.
His date of death coincides with the death and wounding of other soldiers of the 37th on the same day, but I have not been able to find out any more detail. I have seen a photo of George standing in front of a field gun, in a an ABC documentary.
