"I'VE ALWAYS TRIED
AND DONE MY BEST
AT EVERYTHING"
ARCHIE

SECOND LIEUTENANT ARCHIBALD DAVID REID

MIDDLESEX REGIMENT

8TH AUGUST 1917 AGE 24

BURIED: BAILLEUL COMMUNAL CEMETERY EXTENSION NORD, FRANCE


Archie Reid died of wounds in a Casualty Clearing Station in Bailleul. I wonder at what point and to who he made this statement. It was his mother, Mrs J Reid, who confirmed his inscription despite the fact that Lieutenant Reid was married. His wife, Mrs Beatrice Daisy Reid, died in 1985 aged 92.
