From the page: “In 1944, Lieutenant Kenneth Taylor of the Green Howards recorded his experiences in an “illegal” wartime diary.

Mr Taylor presented a transcript of his diary to the Green Howards Regimental Museum. Serving soldiers were forbidden from keeping diaries, so he wrote his entries secretly every evening in a liberated German exercise book. In it he details his experiences in 1944 from D-Day in June through to the end of the year.

With the 6th Battalion The Green Howards he moved through France and Belgium into Holland, arriving at the Nijmegen Bridge across the River Waal just a few days after its capture by the Allied troops. The bridge was a vital objective on the advance of Allies into Germany.”
