Lt. Reeves was murdered whilst trying to escape from Camp 66 Capua, Italy. The United War Commission Charge Sheets clearly state that the Italian officer and guards at the camp were wanted for war crimes for the shooting of Lt. Reeves. He had surrendered and the guards shot at him repeatedly at close range, after which he was denied medical attention for 3 hours. Finally moved to Caserta General Hospital No. 2, where 16 individual bullets were removed from him, another 28 wounds from grape shot were counted. He was refused a blood transfusion following surgery, even though a senior British medical officer requested it. He finally died 2 days later.

* During the action against the Turkish Tabsor position on September 19th, 1918, and during the subsequent advance, he was invariably to the fore and set a fine example of coolness, courage and utter disregard of danger. When the regiment occupied the El Medjel position on the evening of September 19th, 1918, Capt. Ritchie carried a Lewis gun up part of the way as its carrier was exhausted, and thereby materially assisted in driving off an enemy picquet which was holding up the attack on top of the hill. His services throughout the two attacks, and the subequent trying marches, were of inestimable value to the regiment.

** For gallantry in action with the Army of The United States on 14 March 1943 near Tamera, Tunisia. When the enemy attacked and gained a foothold in a wooded section within fifty yards of his company, which was weak in numbers due to casualties, Lieutenant Rutherfoord went forward alone, and with a sub-machine gun destroyed two enemy machine gun posts killing and wounding the crews and capturing the guns. This gallant act in the face of great danger is worthy of the highest praise.
