Killed in action



​
THE LATE DRIVER W. R. TAYLOR.

Born in England, the late Driver W. R.  Taylor was only about two years in South Australia when he responded to the call for volunteers to go to the front, and owing to his previous military experience— he had been a member of the Royal Horse Artillery Howitzer Battery at Woolwich — he
was promptly accepted. He made many friends during his brief residence in this city, being well liked because of his pleasant disposition.
