205894 Pte. George Frederick Taylor British Army 2nd Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment from:Consett my father seems to have had an interesting time in the Army.Three years later was involved in WW2. He apparently rose to sergeant but he must have blotted his copybook somewhere along the way because he was busted down to Private! Maybe as a result of this he was encouraged to join the Glider Pilot Regiment 2 Wing because I have his soldier's release book stating he was a troooper in the aforesaid Regiment. I would love to know more about how he ended up in a Glider Pilot Regiment and if anyone can enlighten me I would be very grateful. I just wish I had asked him more questions when he was alive because like many soldiers he did not say much about his time in WW2.
