He was killed in action on 25 April 1915 while landing on W Beach in Cape Helles, Gallipoli, Turkey. Stubbs was one of the six members of the regiment elected for the award by the survivors. These were hailed in the press as 'six VC's before breakfast',〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work= Find a Grave )〕 and the commander of the Allied troops at Gallipoli, General Ian Hamilton ordered that the beach be renamed 'Lancashire Landing'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=1914-1918 )〕 The other five of the '6 VCs before breakfast' were awarded to Cuthbert Bromley, John Elisha Grimshaw, William Kenealy, Alfred Joseph Richards and Richard Raymond Willis ==Citation==
