Reid | G F | | Civil Surgeon | He was killed in action at Tweefontein in De Wet's attack on Christmas morning, 1901. Surgeon Reid was a widower, and previous to the war was practising at Bethlehem but on Mr Kruger sending his ultimatum, and war having become inevitable, Surgeon Reid offered his services, which were afterwards accepted. After the advance of Field Marshal Earl Roberts into the Transvaal and the capture of Pretoria, Surgeon Reid served with the 3rd Division in the East of the ORC. He was later on doing duty at Harrismith, and being anxious to go to Bethlehem, where he possessed some property, Surgeon Reid volunteered to accompany, and proceeded with a column en route for that place. He was then employed with the forces protecting the Blockhouse line, and fell in the Boer attack on Tweefontein. He was well known in this district, and was beloved by all, both British and Boer, and the latter expressed the greatest sorrow at his death. He was buried in the military cemetery at Harrismith, a large crowd of civilians and soldiers having been present at his funeral. A cross marked his grave, and his name was inscribed on an obelisk which was erected at Tweefontein in memory of all those who fell in this action.
