| Campaign Medal | 25 Jul 1933 (age 33) | Indian General Service Medal with clasp for North West Frontier 1930-1931 |
| Awarded in Army Order 94 of 1933. Stephen was the Lieutenant, Royal Engineers, and Garrison Engineer at Manzai, under the Commander, RE, Waziristan District. During 1930–1931, the Waziristan District, a crucial part of the British Indian Empire's North-West Frontier Province, was heavily engaged in suppressing the fallout from the Red Shirt rebellion and related tribal uprisings. This period was marked by significant unrest, with British Indian forces actively engaged in maintaining control over the region. Manzai was an important, fortified garrison camp on the North-West Frontier tasked with protecting convoys to Wana. As an engineer in a frontier garrison, Stephen's duties likely involved maintaining the strategic defenses of the fort, managing water supplies, and overseeing the vital communication and transport links (such as the narrow-gauge railway) that connected Manzai to the rest of the Waziristan District. |
