NotesA birth registration was found for Harold Chevasse Harborne Taylor: Year of Registration: 1898; Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec; District: Kings Norton (To 1912); County: Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire; Volume: 6c; Page: 489. (Parents: Joseph Harborne Taylor and Alice Hocking, married 1893 in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England.)

In 1901, Harold C. Taylor, 3, was shown residing at 179 Bath Row, St. Martin, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England. Other family members included: servant Annie Dogherty, 29; Elsie Hocking, 12; Ernest Hocking 10; Percy Hocking, 8; Alice Taylor, 36, music book seller manageress; Donald Taylor, 4 years of age; Joseph H. Taylor, 33, upholsterer; and Mary H. Taylor, 5. (Source: 1901 Census of England; Class: RG13; Piece: 2834; Folio: 6; Page: 4.)

In 1907, Donald H. Taylor, 10 (along with his brother, Harold C. Taylor, 9), arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, along with 137 children from the Middlemore Home, Birmingham, England.

In 1911, Donald Taylor, 14, is shown as a domestic to George Lamoreaux and family in Wicklow, Carleton, New Brunswick, Canada. His date of birth is shown as June 1896 and his immigration year as 1907.

On September 18, 1917, Harold Harborne Taylor, 18 (he was actually still 17), enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces at Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada (Service Number: 696405; Force: Army; Unit: Canadian Infantry (Alberta Regiment); Division: 50th Bn.) He declared that he resided in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada; that he was born in Birmingham, England; that his next of kin was his mother, Mrs. Alice Taylor, who resided at Hope Cottage, Stratford Road, Shirley, England (originally his next of kin was listed as his father, Joseph Taylor, who resided at Mission Flats, Spokane, Washington, USA, but that was crossed out); that his date of birth was December 26, 1898; that he was a farmer; and that he was not married. He was described as 5 foot 6 inches in height; fair complexion; blue eyes; light brown hair. He had two vaccination marks on his left arm. His brother, Donald Harbourne Taylor, and his father, Joseph Harborne Taylor, also both enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces.

Private Harold Harborn Taylor died on June 3, 1917, at Vimy Ridge, Pas de Calais, France. He is remembered on the Vimy Memorial, Canada's most impressive tribute overseas to those Canadians who fought and gave their lives in the First World War. At the base of the memorial, these words appear in French and in English:

TO THE VALOUR OF THEIR COUNTRYMEN IN THE GREAT WAR AND IN MEMORY OF THEIR SIXTY THOUSAND DEAD THIS MONUMENT IS RAISED BY THE PEOPLE OF CANADA

Inscribed on the ramparts of the Vimy Memorial are the names of over 11,000 Canadian soldiers who were posted as 'missing, presumed dead' in France.
