219172 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)
Peter
