Reginald was awarded the Distinquished Conduct Medal "For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He was in charge of a party of stretcher-bearers, proceeding under heavy and continuous shell fire to a place which was eventually found to have passed into enemy occupation. Returning at once to the new Advanced Dressing Station, he took command of the post, as the RAMC Sergeant in charge had become a casualty. The post had to be evacuated in the evening, and he proceeded directly to another station, working under heavy fire without rest for two days. He did not leave this post until our infantry had retired behind him. It was owing to his coolness and great courage that it was possible to evacuate such a large number of wounded men."
