218038 L/Cpl. Edgar Taylor Canadian Expeditionary Force. 1st Canadian Tunnelling Company from:Haileybury, Ontario Edgar Taylor was my grandmother's brother. He was born in Sheffield and went to Canada aged 19. He enlisted on 30th October 1915. and served with the 1st Canadian Tunnelling Company. Before the war he had been a cook so he may have served as a cook rather than digging. He was only 5ft3in tall and gave his date of birth as 4 April 1875, when he was actually born in April 1867, so he was really 48 when he enlisted. After the war, he went back to Canada, continuing as a cook and often went prospecting for gold.
