Frank "Sammy" Taylor PPA

[Censlenov]

Hello Everyone

I'm trying to research a member of Popski's Private Army who received an MiD.

I know there are many works written about the LRDG and PPA can anyone suggest some which mention Taylor specifically.

I'd also be grateful for any photos of the victory parade which show PPA members especially of Sammy Taylor. I'm trying to see what his Battledress looked like at around this time.

Cheers
Chris

The index of the ninth impression from 1954 of "Private Army" by Popski himself lists: Taylor, Sgt. S. (Sammy), Mentioned in Despatches, 'R' Patrol, 445, 456, 457, 471, 482.
He is not listed in the index of Popski by John Willett and my copies of "With Popski's Private Army" by Ben Owen and "Fighting with Popski's Private Army" by Park Yunnie both lack indexes. He is not mentioned in the photo captions of any of these books.

Rgds,

Thomas.
