Guest Pete Wood Posted 27 November , 2003 Share Posted 27 November , 2003 AM CC Taylor of 37 Sqn was shot down (possibly by his own anti aircraft guns!), along with his pilot 2Lt John Edward R Young, while attacking Gotha bombers on a raid on the UK. The Sopwith ditched into the sea, near Maplin light vessel, and although rescued, Taylor later died that day of a compound skull fracture. Young's body was not recovered. Apart from the info on CWGC, can anyone tell me any more about this man - I can't find him on SDGW. Does anyone know his forename(s), age etc, please...?

Malcolm Posted 27 November , 2003 Share Posted 27 November , 2003 Hampstead Cemetery Register might give details. Try CWGC Maidenhead. Aye Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 27 November , 2003 Share Posted 27 November , 2003 AM.II Cyril C.Taylor (observer) No.21547 If you call the cemetery authority (Camden Borough Council - I think) and give the name, date & grave number, they may have the middle name and age. CWGC will not hold any more info than on their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
