He attested for the 23rd Foot in February 1853, and served with the Regiment in the Crimea (entitled to medal with ‘Alma’ and ‘Sebastopol’ clasps, and Turkish Crimea). His service papers give that he was ‘wounded in left shoulder and leg on 20th September at the Battle of Alma.’

Stone continued to serve with the Regiment during the Indian Mutiny, transferred to the 12th Foot in July 1869, and was discharged in February 1875.
