Part 183

=TAYLOR, ARTHUR CUTHBERT BROOKE=, A.M.I.C.E., Lieut., 6th Battn. Manchester Regt. (T.F.), 2nd _s._ of Col. Herbert Brooke Taylor, of The Close, Bakewell, Derbyshire, Solicitor, and his wife, Mary Taitt, dau. of the Rev. William Mallalieu; _b._ West Bank, Bakewell afsd., 15 March, 1888; educ. Lady Manners’ School, Bakewell; and Cheltenham College, and on leaving there took the Engineering Course at Manchester University, obtaining the Engineering Certificate. He afterwards joined the firm of Saunders & Taylor, Ltd., and was elected an Associate Member of the Institute of Civil Engineers. He obtained a commission as 2nd Lieut. in the 2nd Vol. Battn. of the Sherwood Foresters (Notts and Derby Regt.), and while serving with this battn. passed the Hythe Course with distinction, and was appointed to command the machine gun section. His method of adapting machine guns to mountain warfare when manœuvring in the North Derbyshire hills demonstrated the possibilities of machine gun warfare which the present war has so immensely developed. He was promoted Lieut. in Sept. 1907. The 2nd Vol. Battn. Sherwood Foresters was a 13-company battn., and when the Territorial scheme came into operation was nearly 1,500 strong. The reduction of the infantry quota of Derbyshire necessitated the reduction of the battn. to eight companies. As a result Lieut. Brooke Taylor reverted to the rank of 2nd Lieut. rather than retain his rank and pass to the reserve. As his business necessitated his residence nearer Manchester than Bakewell, he applied to be attached for training to the 6th Manchesters, and declining a captaincy in his old battn., was transferred as a Lieut. to this reg., in the spring of 1914. He was shortly afterwards appointed instructor of musketry to the battn., and held that position at the time of his death. On the outbreak of hostilities he volunteered and went to Egypt with the East Lancashire Division, and eventually to Gallipoli, where he landed early in May, 1915. He was killed in action there 4 June following; _unm._ A fortnight before, on the death of the senior Capt. of his company, he had been appointed second in command, and his Colonel wrote: “I do not think it would be possible to speak too highly of his character and qualities. During the time of training, from mobilisation up to the end of our time in Egypt, he was untiring in his special work of pushing on the musketry instruction of the men, and was always full of work, valuable ideas and suggestions. With his keenness and attractive character he could, of course, do anything with the men, and he had a large share in making the battn. the splendid fighting force it proved to be. No one was keener or more anxious to see service.” And a brother officer: “Brooke Taylor did the work of four men. His energy and fearlessness was an example to everyone.”

=TAYLOR, CLEMENT HAROLD=, Private, No. 1785, 1/15th Battn. Prince of Wales’ Own (Civil Service Rifles) The London Regt. (T.F.), 3rd _s._ of Francis Taylor, of 6, Church Street, Leominster, Postmaster there, by his wife, Florence Annie, dau. of the late John Andrew Brewer, of Poulteney Gardens, Bath; _b._ Chippenham, co. Wilts, 9 Aug. 1892; educ. St. Paul’s National School, and Wiltshire County Secondary School, Chippenham; was a Civil Service 2nd Division Clerk in Comptroller and Accountant General’s Department of the G.P.O.; joined the Civil Service Rifles, in March, 1914; was in camp when war was declared on 4 Aug. 1914; went to France, 17 March, 1915, and died there, 25 July, 1915, of wounds received from an accidental bomb explosion; _unm._ Buried at the Military Cemetery, Noeux-les-Mines. Lieut. Scott wrote that he was wounded on Saturday afternoon at about 3.30 p.m. and that although he lived till morning was unconscious the whole time, and continued: “It may be some consolation to you to know that he was one of the very best soldiers and one of the very best men in my platoon. He was always entirely reliable, and always willing and eager to undertake any job that was going. He proved his worth, especially on night patrols between our lines and the Germans, for which he would always volunteer whenever it fell to our platoon to furnish one. His loss is deeply felt by all his comrades whose admiration and affection he had soon won.” On the day before the accident he wrote to his mother: “The battalion has now done 16 days in the trenches and came out last night, I believe. I left on the 14th day with a small party to come here for a course of four days at a bombing school. Bombs are fast becoming a most important factor in trench warfare, so a good many men are being trained to use them. It is a nice change after a fortnight’s trench life, and very interesting, too.” Private C. H. Taylor, was a keen student of Economics, and in an examination held by the Society of Arts in 1914 he won first place in all England.

C. E.

C. H. Lyon wrote: “I saw a good deal of him over at Gallipoli, and he did splendidly from beginning to end. I know men in his troop thought a lot of him, and it was only owing to lack of vacancies that he didn’t get rapid promotion. On June 23 Norman got shaken up pretty badly. The Turks were shelling us pretty heavily with French 75’s and high explosives. Where Norman was stationed they got it very badly; he wasn’t actually hit, but the shells bursting near him peppered his face with gravel. He got over it, however, without going away, but when the attack came on 7 Aug. he was very run down. From that I heard the doctor had advised him not to go out, but like many others he was keen on being with his troop and couldn’t stand the idea of being left behind. For three days we were expecting the attack, and on the evening of 6 Aug. we were taken out into the left hand sap on Walker’s Ridge. All night we sat there not knowing what moment we would be called on, and towards daylight the men-of-war and cruisers bombarded the Turkish trenches right in front of us. The 8th were divided into the 1st and 2nd lines of attack. A squadron and two troops out of B formed the 1st line (including Norman), and C Squadron with the other half of B formed into 2nd line. The 10th Regt. formed the 3rd and 4th. The Turkish trenches were about 25 yards from us, and the whole front not more than 150 yards long. At 4.30 a.m. the bombarding stopped and the attack commenced. Owing to a misunderstanding, my troop was late in moving up, and just as we got into the front sap, our officer was shot through the hand and retired. I was left in charge, and being unable to jam past the men, jumped up and ran round to the front of the sap, calling on them to follow, but just as we got out, the 1st line fell back, nearly all wounded, with orders to retire. As we dropped back into the sap, I saw Norman lying just out in front, and with the assistance of others, got him in and laid him on the bottom of the trench. His leg was in a fearful state, a machine-gun had got on to him, but he stood it wonderfully and a 10th man applied first aid. The stretcher bearers were fearfully busy, and we were in an out of the way place and he had to lie there over two hours before it was possible to get him away. The loss of blood must have been very great. Of 318 of our our men that went out that morning, 154 were killed, and 80 odd wounded. The Turks had 34 machine-guns playing on the narrow strip between the trenches, and only one of our men, a sergt. in A Squadron, ever reached their trenches. All but two of our officers that went out were killed, including Col. White, Major Retford, and our Adjutant.”

Corpl. Leigh Knight wrote: “I was your son’s section commander, and am very sorry to have to tell you that I myself saw him fall. He was a good soldier, and when we charged he went forward very gallantly. He was killed by a German shell, and it was practically instantaneous death”; and Rifleman E. Allen wrote: “On 9 May we made an attack on Fromelles, where I saw your son carrying a machine-gun into action. I could not say whether he was killed, but I saw him go under, when I was wounded.”
