- WO1 Regimental Sergeant-Major Reginald Tayler – 1938-2004
- Royal Army Medical Corps and Medical Support & Training Cell of 22 Special Air Service Regiment 1956 to 1976.
- “Sister Reg”, as he was affectionally known, was responsible for training the SAS’s Patrol Medics to a very high standard in Bradbury Lines, Hereford and on many operational tours from the Radfan Mountains of Aden to the secret war in Dhofar, Sultanate of Oman 1970-1976.
- He devised ways of making vital things simple to remember. When faced with a real casualty he taught the SAS Medics to think of: –
- ‘ABC’ – Airway, Breathing & Circulation.
- This simple aide-memoire has been universally adopted and is now used all over the world to help save lives in First Aid Emergencies.
- His humour was legendary and Reg is well remembered in the Barrels Public House, Hereford, where the Landlord, Staff and Customers gave this tree and plaque in memory of their absent friend.
