Commonwealth War Graves Commission are appealing for blood relatives of Pte A Taylor - The Queens (Royal West Surrey Regiment) - died 11/9/1919 - Service Number: 18388

The private memorial marking the grave of Pte Taylor no longer provides adequate commemoration.
The Commission are in the process of producing a headstone to mark his grave.

Sandra, there are a number of Ancestry trees for this family, such as this one www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/196076199/person/112562144329/facts
