"It is my painful duty to inform you that your son was killed in action by a rifle bullet, which struck him in the head. We are all sorry to lose him, as he was one of our best gunners and was liked by everyone and we all tender our deepest sympathy to you, but keep up your heart, because he died doing his duty to the last." Sgt.Bryson in a letter to David's parents. David was the second son of Mr Thomas Reid of 3A Wellington Road, Hawick, Scotland. In 1909, aged 22, David left Hawick and emigrated to Nanaimo, near Vancouver.

CIMETIÈRE DE CHESTER FARM Belgique
Le CIMETIÈRE DE CHESTER FARM est situé à 4 km au sud-est du centre-ville d'Ypres, sur la Vaartstraat, une route qui rejoint la Komenseweg reliant Ypres et Komen (N336).
En partant du centre-ville d'Ypres, on rejoint la Komenseweg via la Rijselsestraat, en passant par la Rijselpoort (porte de Lille), et en traversant la route périphérique d'Ypres, en direction d'Armentières et Lille. La route change de nom à cet endroit et prend celui de Rijselseweg. Un kilomètre plus loin sur la Rijselseweg, un virage à gauche donne sur la Vaartstraat.
Le cimetière se trouve à 2,3 km plus loin sur la Vaartstraat, du côté droit de la route.
