242310 Lance-Corporal Reginald Revill of the 1/4th Battalion, Northumberland Fusiliers was killed in action on the 26th October 1917. His medal index card states "presumed dead" while Soldiers Died in The Great War, (SDGW) states "died".
Reginald was one of over 2600 British soldiers to die on this date, the vast majority of these men - like Reginald - killed in the 3rd Battle of Ypres. His medal index card indicates that he initially joined the 4th Northumberland Fusiliers, probably in early 1916 and later transferred to the 5th Battalion. His six digit number belongs to the series allocated to the 5th Battalion although both SDGW and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission give his battalion as the 1/4th.
Reginald Revill has no known grave and is commemorated on the Tyne Cot memorial.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
