South Yorkshire Times – October 10, 1945
Soldier – Taylor E. – Safe
Mrs. Kathleen Taylor, 19, Loversall Street, Denaby Main, has received a cablegram from her husband, gunner E. Taylor, who has been a prisoner of war with the Japanese for the last 3 1/2 years, to say that he is safe and at an Australian base.
He joined the forces in 1939 and was taken prisoner at Singapore. In a letter to his father he says, “Who is Denaby United playing, dad? I hope to be home in time to attend the Christmas match.” Before enlistment, Gunner Taylor was employed at Cadeby colliery.
