Killed just 2 days after his 20th birthday Steve was never forgotten by the family of brothers sisters nephews and nieces left behind. His memory has lived on through the generations and many of us have visited his grave at gouzeaucourt in France. My brothers and I will be there again next week for the 100th anniversary of his death. My youngest son is 20 years old and I know the pain of losing Stephen was felt so strongly by his family. He was the youngest of 7 siblings from a farming family from North Nibley Gloucestershire. My grandfather was his eldest brother. I never knew my grandfather but I met and knew his brother Ernest who lived to 106 years and his 3 sisters Frances, Jessie and May. On their behalf we will remember him.
