Stevenson
Fellow officer, V Squadron
Mentioned: 1918 only
Comrades in the field One continuous person across six 1918 mentions, consistently tied to V Squadron: first as "Stephenson" on April 28 (dinner at V Sqdn), then "Stevenson" driving him round the country and to tea at V Sqdn (May 11), lending a side-car (May 16), dropping in for a run to Bryas (June 20), and a shopping trip to Auxi (July 3), and finally as "Steve," lending a tender for the same Auxi run (July 29). Distinct from 1917's "Baldy Stevenson" and "Steve Leacock," neither of which connects to this thread.
