William Taylor
The military funeral of the late Gunner William
Taylor took place on Thursday, April 26th at Idle
Parish Church. Gunner Taylor, who was 30 years of
age, was a Kitchener Volunteer and went to France
in June 1915.
He was gassed in July 1916 and was subsequently
brought to Epsom War Hospital. Here he remained
until December 8th last when he was brought to his
home, 23 Hall Lane, Windhill.
Despite all the tender care and loving nursing of his
mother and sister, it was impossible to combat the
gangrene consumption which had set in and after a
long and painful wait, he passed away on April 22nd.
Needless to say the keenest and most heartfelt sympathy is felt by the
many friends of the family and the public generally in the sad loss and still
sadder circumstances of the death of Gunner Taylor.
