    Arthur was killed on 5th September 1944. He was killed in Italy on the attack on the gothic line. I am not sure where his grave is

    Wayne, My mate Dave has just informed me that his Uncle Arthur is buried in either Italy or Malta. He is going to ask his aunt to clarify.
    Again I will get back with the info.

    I remember speaking to another BBS poster who informed me that Reds legendary F.A. Cup lifting captain Archie Taylor once lived in Broughty Ferry (where I live) and he is buried in Scone cemetery just outside Perth. I did have a picture of the flat where he lived.
