There is a possible confusion of records between Pte John TAYLOR and Lance Sergeant John TAYLOR.  Both have the same Regimental Number and therefore one record may be a duplicate of the other.  However, L/Sgt TAYLOR was a casualty in Normandy while Pte TAYLOR apparently transferred to REME.  Records are being followed up to ascertain the facts and entries will be amended and corrected in due course.
