Able Seaman Raymond John Reddin (Service No:F3133) served in the RAN from 26 AUgust 1940 to 7 May 1945. He was one of four brothers (Stanley, Gerald and Keith) who served in WWII.
Born at Albany WA in 1902, Jack was the second of four children (sons) of William Reddin (b1874 in Albany, WA) and Alice Eliza Pollard (b1874 at Guildford, WA). William (a Boatman) and Alice married in Albany WA in 1900 and lived at the Pilot Station in Albany where William was a Boatman before moving to Perth in the 1920s - William worked as a Labourer in Perth.
Jack worked as a Packer in Perth and at Wyndham Meatworks in the Kimberley before enlisting in the RAN. In 1944 he married Myrtle Sylvia Shiells (nee White; b1901 in Perth, WA). In 1949 Jack was a Pastoralist living in Fremantle WA before working in Wyndham WA as a Clerk until the late 1950's. Jack died in Fremantle in 1962 and Myrtle died in Geraldton in 1973.
