George Stephenson .     British Army Royal Artillery

George Stephenson, RA is commemorated on the WW2 Roll of Honour Plaque in the entrance of Jarrow Town Hall.




George Stephenson .     Royal Air Force 619 Sqdn.

George Stephenson was a navigator who survived the war. He may have been with 619, 617 or 83 Squadrons. We know he was at Woodhall and at Wyton. He completed his service, we believe, as a navigator instructor, possibly in Canada. If you have any information about George please contact me.




George Stephenson .     Royal Air Force RAF Wyton

We are trying to locate any one who knew a RAF Navigator named George Stephenson. We know he was stationed at Wyton in Huntingdonshire and also at Woodhall Spa in Lincolnshire. It's possible he was with either 619, 617 or 83 Squadron. He finished his tour of ops and we believe he finished up as a instructor of navigation in Canada before being demobbed.




Henrietta "Ettie" Stephenson .     Womens Auxiliary Air Force   from Nelson, Lancashire

My Grandmother, Henrietta Stephenson taught service men how to swim for which she won an award. She also "worked with photographs" and "prayed for the safe return of all pilots". I couldn't really understand her job. That is all she spoke of to her Grandchildren 30 years after the war.

I have since learned from my father that she was a photographic interpreter. When I asked my father where she was stationed he said "All personnel involved were located where there were reconnaissance planes and at one time this was Harwell, Didcot, Berkshire. My father was sent to live with many different families while his Mum served in the WAAF. There was so much secrecy. My father snuck away from those billeting him in the Blackburn area to visit his Mum. It sounds like he got a bit of a scolding and a traumatic experience. He had gone all the way on bike to see her! When he was on his way home towns and villages that had stood as he travelled through on his way to visit his Mum has been very badly bombed! He was only eleven. This would be in 1940. I think the town he referred to was Haslingden.




James Hawley Stephenson .     United States Air Force

My father was a prisoner of war in Barth, but he never spoke of his experience at all to me or my sister. I asked him many times, and he would always say, "don't ask" or the like. His name was James Hawley Stephenson and upon returning from being a prisoner of war, he changed his life direction and became a physician. He then got interested in natural medicine and practised as a homeopath all his life, until his death in 1985.

My mother, who married him shortly upon his return from WW2, said he used to have nightmares, and more, for a long time. I believe he experienced PTSD all his life, he never made any deep friendships and was a bit of a loner.

I only learned where he was incarcerated recently thanks to the web and sites like this, and had the amazing opportunity to visit the site of Barth. a poem I wrote about my feelings at the site, with a photo of him.

If anyone has any other information about him, like where he was in the camp or anything else, it would be great to know. I do know he was good friends with a Canadian man, and they kept up a bit after the war.

P/O M. Stern .     Royal Canadian Air Force 97 Squadron




Pte. Charles William Sternberg .     US Army 7th Infantry Regiment   from Milwaukee, Wisconsin

(d.9th May 1944)

My uncle, Charles Sternberg, volunteered for the US Army in WWII. He fought in North Africa with the 3rd Division 7th Infantry Regiment and was awarded the Silver Star. He was captured by the Germans either in North Africa or Sicily. He spent time in several German POW camps. His last camp was Stalag 2B. In his letters home he mentioned working on farms. On May 9, 1944 he was "shot while trying to escape". From the official US history of Stalag 2B we believe that Charles was most likely murdered by the Germans and not shot while trying to escape.

Our family would appreciate any information from other prisoners who may have known Charles. Especially the circumstances of his death. He is buried in the American Cemetery in Leige, Belgium. Please contact me with any information.




Sgt. K. K. Sterrett .     Royal Air Force 149 Sqd.

Sgt Sterrett was taken POW when his Wellington was shot down by a night fighter whilst on Ops to Duisburg, it crashed at Haelen in Holland.




Sgt. Andrew John Kerr Steven .     Royal Air Force 78 Squadron   from South Biggart Farm, Lugton, Ayrshire

(d.24th August 1943)

The week before he died John Steven was on the raid of Peenemunde but his aircraft crash landed just after departure. All the crew survived with only the captain suffering any injuries. The captain remained in hospital for a short time and the rest of the crew, apart from my uncle, John, were sent to training units.

He joined a new crew for the next raid, Berlin, on the night of the 23rd/24th of August 1943 as the navigator. For some reason that I have been unable to discover, he baled out just after completing the bombing of Berlin. Unfortunately, he drowned in a lake. You may say he was unlucky but I think he was fated to die as the crew of the aircraft died when they were shot down over France the following week.




Stevens .     Royal Air Force pilot 17 Sqd.
