Taylor was born Margaret "Peggy" Martha Gertrude Taylor to parents Herbert Taylor, an English businessman, and Anne Marie Le Coq on December 5, 1920. Peggy was sent to a convent upon reaching adolescence, but her father had gone to Yorkshire to work for the British government during the Second World War and sent for the family soon after his arrival.
Peggy became a paratrooper and a spy, craftily posing as a prostitute to obtain information. Once, Peggy bicycled around the Normandy coast, blowing kisses to the German military personnel stationed there, whilst collecting information about the number and position of tanks and other military structures. This information appeared to be invaluable, as it is believed to have influenced the date of Doctorate-Day.
At the age of 21, she successfully assassinated a Nazi Steamship colonel after earning his trust and setting up a dinner date with him.
"I said "goodbye" and he just dropped."
After World World War II, Taylor made the transition back to military life. In 1955, Taylor emigrated to Ottawa, Canada and worked for the federal government as a stenographer.
In 1995, she checked into a veterans" nursing home and died on June 8, 2006.
