213177 L/Cpl. William Bertie "Billy" Taylor British Army 7 Platoon A Comp 2nd Bn. Royal Norfolk Reg from:Caister-on-Sea (d.5th May 1944) William Bertie Taylor was my uncle. He died before I was born. But, he was always a very prominent name as I grew up his presence was always there with my Nanny and Grandad, my mother and her brothers and sisters. When my father died, going through his papers, I found a letter from Billy's Commanding Office Major Christopher C Swainson informing my Nanny and Grandad of their son's death and information he had been killed by a sniper the day after an important position had been secured. His body had been buried in the Regimental Cementry the hill which had been captured. I expect at the time it must have been a great comfort to them although loosing him was devastating to the whole family. This letter I hope to take to the Norfolk's Museum in Norwich to hopefully preserve a peace of history for many years to come.
