PFC Lee J. Taylor, 35 801 707, 2nd Bn Ranger Inf. is my mother's brother and would have been my uncle had he not been killed in action 12/07/44 in Bergstein, Germany. No records of Lee's military service with the 2nd Rangers have been found, other than the documentation found on www.RangerRoster.org

Does anyone remember Lee J. Taylor as a member of the 2nd Ranger Battalion?. All family records were destroyed by a fire years ago but we do have a picture of Lee in uniform. His shoulder patch is of the 69th Infantry where he did basic training.

There is a newspaper obituary from July 1949 when Lee's body was returned home. It states that he joined the Army May 14, 1943, was a 2nd Ranger, took part in the D-Day invasion of France, and was killed in action in Germany December 7, 1944. Any assistance anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.
