Lt Patrick Douglas Chisholm Taylor RGA

1892 Jan 29 Born Surrey (RIC) and in RGA and "Douglas C Taylor"

Nobody fits

• "Douglas Clifton Taylor was born in right quarter in Surrey in 1891, but he died in 1917 and was never in RGA, and never commissioned.
• "Douglas Carey Taylor " was born in Surrey in 11 Dec 1897 and got his commission in RE. Did not serve in RGA
• There are no Douglas C Taylor born in Surrey between 1890 & 1899
• My assumption was that he was not born Taylor, but changed at some point, but I still could not get the "C"
• So with a dead end, I opened a WW1 Form thread, fresh minds there showed that he was in fact Patrick Douglas Chisholm Taylor . He has the exact birthday, and was an RGA Officer
