804401 Sergeant Ronald Henry William Taylor
Air gunner
604 (County of Middlesex) Squadron
Died 26 November 1940
Sergeant Taylor is buried in Hampstead Cemetery, London.
He was a member of 604 Squadron which was equipped with Beaufighter fighter-bombers from September 1940 until 1943. These were being used in a night fighter role in November 1940.
P/O Nigel Wheatcroft (aged 21) of 604 Squadron is also listed as being killed on 26 November 1940.
P/O Wheatcroft was the son of Kenneth and Dorothea Wheatcroft, of Idridgehay, Derbyshire and he is buried in his home village.
It's possible that Taylor was Wheatcroft's gunner, but I'm yet to confirm this.
