No. 7898, L/Sgt. J. W. Reid, M.M.
During the operation East of VILLERS BRETONNEUX on 8th, 9th and 10tyh August, 1918, the conduct and bearing of this N.C.O. were an example and inspiration to the A.A.M.C. personnel and to all with whom he was in contact. On the 8th August
two of the party were killed by shell fire. When it was discovered they were missing this N.C.O. at his own request returned to find what had happened to them. To do this, in addition to risk from shell fire, he had to recross a zone exposed to
machine gun fire from a flank. On 9th August, although wounded and badly shaken by a shell which burst only a few feet away from him, he continued his work. He went forward under heavy machine gun fire, selected a spot for a R.A.P. and
succeeded in getting in touch with various companies. Throughout the whole of the operations his first consideration was the care and welfare of the wounded and of those working with him. His work merits special recognition.
A FRESH START (from a Murchison R.S.L. Club publication)
On March 6, 1934 a meeting was held to try to rekindle interest in reviving the Returned Soldiers' League.
In a plea for support, Mr Chaprnan from ANZAC
House said it was useless holding an ANZAC parade and holding a service in front of a monument and doing no more. Service without sacrifice was worthless. Hard times had pushed many old diggers out onto the road with their swags. "Promises had
been made and the privileges they had fought for had not always been obtained.. . " They could approach the government and with strength of numbers accomplish what they set out to do.
"There was much work to be done and when a town like Murchison was out of the picture so long it was inclined to be apathetic and they needed team work now as well as when they were on the other side"
The meeting convened at the Murchison Mechanics' Institute was chaired by Mr J W Reid. He told the meeting he obtained promises from 17 members. He was elected president, Mr G V Charlton and Mr T Kenny, vice-presidents, Mr T Shepard, treasurer
and Mr G Findlay, secretary.
Mr Reid, known to his friends as Bill, had drummed up support from the district with a near neighbour, Guy Findlay. They drove a horse and jinker around the area to recruit the minimum 14 people required to form a new Sub Branch.
Mr Reid served with the AAMC in France during the First World War and was awarded the Military Medal for his work on August 8, 9 and 10, 1918 at Villers Bretonneux. His citation for the medal reads:
"On August 8 two of his party were killed by shell fire. When it was discovered they were missing this NCO at his own request returned to find what had happened to them. To do this, in addition to risk from shell fire, he had to re-cross a zone
exposed to machine gun fire from a flank."
"On August 9, although wounded and badly shaken by a shell which burst only a few feet away from him, he continued his work. He went forward under heavy machine gun fire and selected a spot for a Regimental Aid Post and succeeded in getting in
touch with the various companies.. Throughout the whole of the operations his first consideration was the care and welfare of the wounded and of those working with him."
Mr Reid came to Murchison around 1926 and stayed for a short while with a friend,. George Harms, on his farm on the southern boundary of the town. He successfully applied for a homestead block on the Harper Estate which was subdivided for
soldier settlement after the 1914-18 war.
He moved to there in 1927 and stayed until he handed over the farm to his youngest son, Linton, in 1981. He later became a resident of the D P Jones nursing Home where he passed away on March 21, 1982.
Possibly the only interest of greater importance to Bill than the RSL was his devotion to the Anglican Christ Church where he was a lay preacher and people's warden.

----------------------------------------------
He moved to Montgomery, Alabama from Taunton, Massachusetts, the home of all members of his family for generations thereafter. I am not certain what brought him south, possibly business associated with cotton production. He married Anna Isabella Henderson (Knox) (Donnell).[FitzpatrickJR.GED.FTW]

Individual Note: "After Papa's death, Mama assumed the responsibilities of father and mother. At the age of 33 with no previous business experience, she built the first telephone exchange in Greensboro, and operated it from 1895 to 1908, when she sold it to Southern Bell, and moved to Birmingham with her five children. I could tell much, but I will wait until a late date, still I am wondering how she did it, with little capital and no experience. Nevertheless, she had many substantial friends among the business people of the town who were always ready and more than willing to help her with her problems. [Notable among these were members of the family of her husband's sister, the Wards . . . W. K. F., Jr.] I will of course start with the Richard Hooker Cobb's family, Dr. Cobb being the Rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church." (Notes of William K. Fitzpatrick, Sr.)
She moved to Birmingham with her five children in about 1907 and started a pleasant boarding house there. Aunt Louise worked at Loveman, Joseph and Lowe, a department store. Uncle Paull worked for a grocery store. She later went to Atlanta, Georgia with her sons, Knox, Ward and Paull Fitzpatrick in about 1915. I do not know where she lived, but the picture of the Fitzpatrick children with their spouses was taken about the time of her death in December 1924, according to Jane Jernigan Fitzpatrick when I talked to her tonight (7/1/1991). She was a devout Catholic, at least at first. I do not know about later.
