Biography
Stephen Gough was listed in the Abbots Langley Parish Magazine Roll of Honour from October 1914 through to the end of the War in December 1918. Initially he was recorded serving with Kitchener’s Army from October to December 1914, at which point he had attested, and would probably have been sent home to await being mobilised to a specific unit. In December 1914 the Roll of Honour noted that Stephen was serving with the 3rd Battalion of the Bedfordshire Regiment, and recorded him serving with this unit through to the end of the War. The 3rd Bedfordshire Battalion was a Home based unit throughout the War, and it’s role was to provide a mustering point for soldiers enlisting with the Bedfordshire’s before they were despatched to their fighting units at the Front. Hence it would have been unlikely that Stephen would have remained with this unit for the duration of the War.
No other details have been discovered for Stephen Gough, and neither he nor his family appear in any of the local Census Records.
It is presumed that he survived the War.
