George V Royal Navy Long Service and Good Conduct Medal, awarded to 193563 PO CL2 W Steven HM Coastguard. William Stephens was born on June 27, 1863 in Pembrokeshire, Wales. He was living in Port Tennant Road in the City of Swansea when he was discharged from the Navy on March 18, 1919, suffering from bronchitis and rheumatism. Prior to this he had served in the Royal Navy since May 1897, first at HMS Collingwood (shore establishment) and then as a Coastguard around the coast of Wales and Cornwall. He was pensioned in 1907 but re-joined the Royal Navy during World War I, serving at HMS Vivid I and HMS Impregnable (both shore bases) until his discharge. The UK, Naval Medal and Award Rolls 1793-1972 seem to indicate entitlement to a British War Medal for World War I service but there is no immediate indication of any overseas service.
