Pte. Sidney Wilfred Taylor
British Army 1st/5th Btn. Leicestershire Regiment
from:Leicester
My Granddad, Sidney Taylor, served with the 1st/5th Leicestershire Regiment. In 1940 he went to fight in Norway, he was 39 years old and left a wife and three kids at home. He was fighting a rearguard action and was taken prisoner. He survived being a POW but sadly died in 1945 of a heart attack aged 44 not long after he came home. My Dad was only seven years old at the time and never got to know his Dad. I would love to know more about my Granddad and what POW camp he was in.
