Sydney was my uncle who died 4 years before I was born. As my family said very little about the war, it was a pleasant surprise to find these details about him on the website. My father, his older brother, was serving with the Royal Artillery and met him purely by chance in North Africa a few days before he was killed. Sadly my father never spoke about it. I am still in possesion of the photo shown, along with a matching one of my father, Maurice Worringham Stevens. He was an uncle unknown and a son and brother sadly missed.
