He was one of the finest N.C.O.’s in the company, and one we could ill spare. His section was the best in the company, and all thought the world of him. I never ask to have a finer soldier or a braver man under my charge, and I wish I had more like him. If ever I wanted a job done, I could always give it to him, and rest content that it would be done, and done well.” Unm.

Taylor A C B Lt 6th Manchester Regiment

TAYLOR, ARTHUR CUTHBERT BROOKE, A.M.I.C.E., Lieut., 6th Battn. Manchester Regt. (T.F.), 2nd s. of Col. Herbert Brooke Taylor, of The Close, Bakewell, Derbyshire, Solicitor, and his wife, Mary Taitt, dau. of the Rev. William Mallalieu; b. West Bank, Bakewell afsd., 15 March, 1888; educ. Lady Manners’ School, Bakewell; and Cheltenham College, and on leaving there took the Engineering Course at Manchester University, obtaining the Engineering Certificate. He afterwards joined the firm of Saunders & Taylor, Ltd., and was elected an Associate Member of the Institute of Civil Engineers. He obtained a commission as 2nd Lieut. in the 2nd Vol. Battn. of the Sherwood Foresters (Notts and Derby Regt.), and while serving with this battn. passed the Hythe Course with distinction, and was appointed to command the machine gun section. His method of adapting machine guns to mountain warfare when manoeuvring in the North Derbyshire hills demonstrated the possibilities of machine gun warfare which the present war has so immensely developed. He was promoted Lieut. in Sept. 1907. The 2nd Vol. Battn. Sherwood Foresters was a 13-company battn., and when the Territorial scheme came into operation was nearly 1,500 strong. The reduction of the infantry quota of Derbyshire necessitated the reduction of the battn. to eight companies. As a result Lieut. Brooke Taylor reverted to the rank of 2nd Lieut. rather than retain his rank and pass to the reserve. As his business necessitated his residence nearer Manchester than Bakewell, he applied to be attached for training to the 6th Manchesters, and declining a captaincy in his old battn., was transferred as a Lieut. to this reg., in the spring of 1914. He was shortly afterwards appointed instructor of musketry to the battn., and held that position at the time of his death. On the outbreak of hostilities he volunteered and went to Egypt with the East Lancashire Division, and eventually to Gallipoli, where he landed early in May, 1915. was killed in action there 4 June following; unm.

A fortnight before, on the death of the senior Capt. of his company, he had been appointed second in command, and his Colonel wrote: “I do not think it would be possible to speak too highly of his character and qualities. During the time of training, from mobilisation up to the end of our time in Egypt, he was untiring in his special work of pushing on the musketry instruction of the men, and was always full of work, valuable ideas and suggestions. With his keenness and attractive character he could, of course, do anything with the men, and he had a large share in making the battn. the splendid fighting force it proved to be. No one was keener or more anxious to see service.” And a brother officer: “Brooke Taylor did the work of four men. His energy and fearlessness was an example to everyone.”
