Welcome to my website dedicated to the memory of my uncle John Ashley Stinton. John died in 1918 after being wounded in action in world war one. He was the son of Ashley and Agnes Stinton and brother to my father Claude. I have been researching John for over 10 years now, His records were destroyed in the bombing of Kew in WW2 making research difficult.

A moment to reflect
John (Jack) Ashley Stinton.
"They shall grow not old
as we that are left grow old:
age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning we will
remember them."
Laurence Binyon
(1869-1943).
(served on the front with the red cross 1916).
