Add my storyBiography contributed by St Peter's Woodlands Grammar School
Reginald Bennett Coad was born in 1892 in Callington South Australia. He had a fairly peaceful life and attended school in Gilles Street Adelaide, South Australia. After school he began a career as a labourer. He signed up to fight in the war in 1915 and began a year of training, he served from 1915-1917. He was killed in action in 1917 February 25 in France. His grave is in Warlencourt British Cemetery. I am sure he was a brave man and his service will never be forgotten.
