Spr. Arthur Elgar Taylor
British Army 249th Field Coy. Royal Engineers
(d.17th Oct 1917)
On 17th of October 1917, my grandfather Arthur Taylor and Major H. W. Wright were shelled while on duty in Belgium.
My grandfather did not survive and his mate was with him when he passed - his last words being "I think I'm done."
My grandmother received a letter from this man which was written in April of 1918 telling her what had happened and his last words.
My son now has this letter in his possession.
