PRIVATE ALAN STEPHENS Mrs. M. J. Stephens, of Leslie-street, Eaglehawk. has received information from Defence department that a court of inquiry has arrived at a decision that her son, Private Alan Stephens, was killed in action on 30th April, 1915, in Gallipoli. Private Stephens was at the landing in Gallipoli. His mother received a letter from her son dated 7th April, 1915, but has not since had any tidings of him and has been kept in a state of suspense ever since. At her request the Defence department had inquiries made and it would appear that he fell in the memorable fighting following the landing at Gallipoli.
