Pte. Andrew Miller Taylor
British Army 5th Btn. Cameron Highlanders
from:Glasgow
My Grandfather, Andrew Miller Taylor, survived the Great War but sadly died before I was born. I knew he was in the first world war as I have photos of him in his uniform, however I never heard tales of his exploits. I recently came upon his war record and was saddened to learn that he was shot in the head in France, returned home to re-couperate, then was sent again to France where he was shot again, this time badly enough to have him discharged being "no longer physically fit for active duty" I realise now that the medal he was wearing on his wedding day in 1918 was his Silver War Badge. I wish his medals had survived, as we are all so proud of him.
