Reginald was born 1898 in Cowes to George & Dorcas (nee WENDES) COTTELL. By 1901 the family were living at 2 New Street & by 1911, 51 Sea Street, both addresses in Newport.

Reginald, aged 18, was listed as Missing Presumed Killed in Action on the 20th of September 1917. His body was never found or identified & so Reginald is commemorated by the Commission on the Tyne Cot Memorial to the Missing, in Belgium together with nearly 40,000 of his First World War comrades who have no known grave.

Reginald is also remembered on the County & Newport Borough War Memorials.
