Grave marker for Taylor A. Weld in the Ridgelawn Cemetery, Collinsville (Tulsa county), Oklahoma.

Taylor enlisted in the Army at Oklahoma City, OK on 22 November 1943.  After completion of basic training and jump school he was shipped overseas. On 10 August 1944 he was transferred from the 11th Replacement Depot to Company A, 508th.

Pvt Weld was wounded in action in Belgium 22 January 1945 and was not able to rejoin the company until 6 March 1945.  He may have then served in the Honor Guard until the points system enabled him to return to the U.S.  He was discharged on 20 November 1945.
