He was a Church Warden and did everything needed in the church. He lived in Plough Lane, Ewhurst, Surrey after his marriage. Janet KELSEY writes that "Walter was still alive in Cranleigh a couple of years ago and David STEMP interviewed him". (Walter STEMP died in 1993) The following was found on this Web Site - http://www.ewhurstfallen.co.uk/reflections.htm#War_Memoirs_of_Walter_Stemp Walter Stemp was born in Ewhurst on 1st June 1897, the son of Thomas and Mary Stemp (nee Ansell). He was the youngest of four sons and a daughter, George (b 1890), Job (b 1894), Reuben (b 1889) and Margaret (b 1892). The family lived at The Wicket Gate at Ewhurst Green. Having been educated at Ewhurst school, which he left at the age of 14, Walter was employed as a gardener at 'Heathside', 'Woolpits' and 'Mapledrakes' before the commencement of the First World War. Walter's cousin on his father's side of the family was Albert Stemp, who also grew up on Ewhurst Green. Walter's elder brothers were already serving with the forces, George in the Royal Navy, Job in the Hampshire Regiment and Reuben in the Norfolk Regiment, when on the 4th August, 1915, Walter enlisted in the Royal Field Artillery at Scotland Yard. He was sent overseas as a signaller in April 1916, initially to Ploegstreet, to the south of the Ypres Salient, and then to the Battle of the Somme in July 1916. Walter contracted trench fever in October 1916, and was returned to England for treatment, remaining in hospital for 6 months. Having served on home duties at Command Depot in Ripon in April 1917, and then signal school in Swanage, Walter returned overseas in December 1917. Writing in the Ewhurst Parish Magazine in later life, Walter described his experiences of the German Spring Offensive of 1918: "I have a vivid memory of The Retreat in 1918 on the Amiens front. 21st March - zero hour - and the opening barrage, then the silence as Jerry attacked and the guns were silent." Serving with 183rd Brigade Royal Field Artillery, from 8th August 1918 Walter was attached initially to the Australians, then Canadians and finally a Scottish Brigade before he was wounded on 15th October 1918 near Cambrai. Evacuated to England, Walter was in hospital in Cheltenham where he underwent several operations before discharge in March 1919. Walter wrote in 1985 of his recollections of the last month of the First World War: "A day towards the end of October 1918, four of us were in our telephone dug-out in a railway cutting near Denain (Cambrai). A whizz-bang (a high velocity shell) arrived all to ourselves. Two of us were wounded; the other two unhurt. Passing through dressing stations, hospital ship and train, I found myself on the veranda of the dining room of Cheltenham Racecourse as this had been commandeered as a military hospital. On November 8th, a visit by the surgeon brought the verdict, " I'm afraid I may have to amputate, but will give you a few more day's grace". Rumours of a cease-fire were rife, when on the 11th this came about, everyone went mad. The veranda where I lay had a glass front and the view was over the race-course, where German prisoners were doing maintenance work. Our lads made for these groups and handed out cigarettes and chocolate, fraternising, glad that the slaughter was over. In the afternoon transport of every kind was laid on for the patients, and they were taken to the town. The majority had been convalescent, and in the evening there were only two of us left in the ward: a jock of the Black Watch, shot through the jaw and unable to eat, drink or shout for joy, and myself with one leg strung up with ligature and the other on a splint. However, this the end of the slaughter on both sides, was the tonic needed for my recovery. Thanks to this and the splendid nursing, I was discharged from Hospital, still walking on my own two feet (the leg did eventually need amputation later, November 1939). One vivid memory remains: one of the VADs, although off-duty, came back to stay with us until some of the staff and patients returned. She had quite recently lost her fiancée, and didn't feel in the mood to celebrate." Walter was discharged from the army on 29th March 1919. He returned to Ewhurst, but was unable to work for a year. He eventually entered employ at 'Firethorn' (now Campions), in Plough Lane, where he remained until 1962, and was captain of the Ewhurst bell ringers and a member of the Parochial Church Council. He was awarded the British War Medal and the Victory Medal for his service. With the first anniversary of the Armistice in November of 1919, Walter witnessed the act of remembrance in Ewhurst: "The hooters at Swallow Tiles and Elliott's Timber Yard gave the signal, everything and everybody stopped for two minutes in silent tribute to the fallen. The number of volunteers from Ewhurst and Ellen's Green was 'second to none'. The memorials show the price they paid." In 1982, shortly after the end of the Falklands War, Walter wrote briefly of his association with the poppies of Flanders that form the centrepiece of Remembrance Sunday, base on his experience in 1916: "between Messines and Armentieres, dawn in late June. I was one of a detail for duty at Observation Post to check zero target of battery. Some part of the way from the gun line to the observation post was once farm land, now derelict and pock-marked with shell holes, poppies and mag weed were prolific. This no man's land had to be traversed before entering the communication trench to the front line. During the night in extended order, relief rations, wiring parties, and stretcher bearers crossing this waste crushed these flowers and the acrid scent will never be forgotten." Walter Stemp wrote regularly about his memories of bygone Ewhurst in the Parish magazine in the 70s and 80s. He passed away in 1993, aged 96. All of Walter's brothers survived the war and their details can be found at Parish Men Who Served and Returned, his cousin, Albert Stemp, failed to return.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
