Unfortunately it has not been possible to discover the circumstances of George's death, which the family say they remember with love and pride. The 15 June 1915 saw the Canadian Brigade suffer heavy casualties in an attack at Givenchy.
George was one of the three Stephenson brothers killed in the war (see previous epitaph). He had emigrated to Canada and enlisted in Quebec on 23 September 1914.
