Former North Yorkshire soldier Robert Taylor will march past the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday with Help for Heroes.
Robert Taylor, 55, from Selby in North Yorkshire, will march past the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday as part of the Help for Heroes contingent. He will honour generations of his military family and fallen colleagues, joining around 50 others from Help for Heroes and approximately 10,000 veterans at the parade in London.
Taylor joined the army at 16 and now chairs an Armed Forces Network. He said he felt 'really proud' to be part of the Help for Heroes contingent, adding: 'I'm marching for my Skipton colleagues who have served and spouses of former or currently serving personnel, and reaffirming our commitment to the Armed Forces Community.'
His father, Athlyn Taylor, served in the Royal Signals for 20 years and was awarded the British Empire Medal for his advocacy work supporting Second World War veterans. Rob Marston, service director for Help for Heroes, said the organisation remains 'at the side of veterans and their families who are struggling with painful injuries, mental trauma, isolation, and more'.
