Lt. Robert Gladstone Taylor
British Army 912th Motor Transport Company. Royal Army Service Corps
from:Blandford Forum
Bob Taylor should have retired from military service at the age of 50 in 1941. Instead he continued to serve for a year as temporary Captain of an anti-aircraft battery at Neath in Wales. He was transferred in March 1942 to the RASC, where he reverted to Lieutenant and was posted to 912th Motor Transport Company. According to family memories he was in Berlin when the war in Europe ended, and exchanged sabres with a Russian cavalry officer in celebration of the Armistice.
