Add my storyBiography contributed by Geoffrey Gillon
He was 30 and the son of Thomas and Jane Reid, of 17, Balmain St., Montrose, Scotland.
He is one of seven Australian casualties of the Great War commemorated on the Montrose War Memorial. There are at least the same number of Montrose born Australian soldiers who fell and are not recorded there.
Montrose (Scottish Gaelic: Monadh Rois) is a coastal resort town and former royal burgh in Angus, Scotland. It is situated 38 miles north of Dundee between the mouths of the North and South Esk rivers. It is the northernmost coastal town in Angus and developed at a natural harbour that traded in skins, hides and cured salmon in medieval times.
