Pre War
Reginald was the son of George & Caroline Carter of the High Street, Walkern. His home was in Walkern but he enlisted in Hertford.
Wartime Service
He served in 4 company of the Hertfordshire Regiment and his
Regimental number was 266935.
He had been taken prisoner and died, probably as a result of
the flu epidemic then raging across Europe, at the Niederzwehren Prisoner of
War camp in Germany. The date of his capture has not been discovered, but as
his name does not appear in the British Red Cross Enquiry List of 1917, he was
probably captured at some time during 1918 and most likely in March or April of
that year.
He was buried in Plot IV, Row M, Grave 7 of the
Niederzwehren Cemetery in Germany.
Additional Information
His brother, Arthur, died in France on the 29th May 1918.
