Circumstances Leading to Death (Normally from War Diary)           

The war diary does not really give us any clues as to the day and/or place that Reginald was killed, it is likely that it was after 21 Mar 1918, the first day of the German Spring Offensive and before the recorded death date of 27 Mar 1918.
