Engineer Captain Charles Gerald Taylor LVO (8 May 1863 – 24 January 1915) was a Royal Navy officer and Wales international rugby union player〔(WRU player profile )〕 who played club rugby for Blackheath. He was the first Welsh international to be killed in action during World War I.〔(Rugby Heroes who went to War ) BBC Online Matthew Ferris, November 2008〕〔(Veterans remembered with stadium charity collection ) Welsh Rugby Union site 10 July 2008〕 Taylor was an all-round athlete, and at one time was the Welsh pole vault champion.〔Jenkins (1991), pg 151.〕
==Military career==
Born in Ruabon, Wales on 8 May 1863, Taylor joined the Royal Navy on 1 July 1885, when he was rated an acting assistant engineer. Following his initial training he was confirmed in the rank on 1 July 1886.〔(RN Officer's Service Records—Taylor, Charles Gerald ), ''DocumentsOnline'', The National Archives (fee may be required to view pdf of full original record). Retrieved on 10 November 2008.〕 He was promoted to engineer on 1 September 1890, and chief engineer on 30 December 1900. He became an engineer lieutenant on 26 March 1903,〔 and on 30 December 1904 was promoted to engineer commander. On 3 February 1911 King George V appointed him a Member of the Fourth Class of the Royal Victorian Order〔Due to subsequent changes to the structure of the order, Members of the Fourth Class are now known as Lieutenants of the Royal Victorian Order.〕 On 7 February 1912 he was promoted to engineer captain.
Much of Taylor's career was spent at training or other shore establishments. However, shortly after the outbreak of World War I he was posted to the battlecruiser HMS ''Queen Mary'', on 16 September 1914. On 20 November he was transferred to HMS ''Tiger''.〔 On 24 January 1915, ''Tiger'' was one of the vessels engaged in the Battle of Dogger Bank. HMS ''Tiger'' was struck by fire from the German cruiser SMS ''Blücher'', and Taylor died during the engagement. Taylor was not buried at sea, and his body was returned to Britain to be buried at Tavistock New Cemetery in Devon.〔〔(Casualty details—Taylor C G ), Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
