JOHN DAVIE TAYLOR
Sergeant John Davie Taylor, the Glider Pilot Regiment, was of that gallant band whose heroic deeds thrilled us in September last when they were at Arnhem. He was reported “missing” then and in February last came sad information that he had died of his wounds in a German hospital.
Jack, as we all knew him, was a fine young man, a son in whom to rejoice with a great love for his parents and sisters and greatly loved by them. He was one who in civilian life never gave his father and mother a moment’s anxiety, so reliable and affectionate was he: and, in war he revealed the sterling qualities of which he was made. His record is one of which to be proud and such was his regard of the things that count that he did not hesitate to make the supreme sacrifice.
We were in utmost sympathy with Mr. and Mrs. Taylor and their daughters during those months of waiting of some news of him and now that the sad blow has fallen upon them, our hearts overflow towards them. May God be especially near to them in this their time of need and may the inner consciousness of the Everlasting Arms be their support.
