Soon after his retirement from VFL football, he became an ordained minister of the Presbyterian Church. He also, later, became a member of the Imperial Forces in the Anglo-Boer War, firstly as a trooper in the Second Western Australian (Mounted Infantry) Contingent (2WAMI) in 1900, and then as a commissioned officer in the Sixth Western Australian (Mounted Infantry) Contingent (6WAMI) in 1901.〔(Royal Australian Armoured Corps Association: Australian and Colonial Units of the Boer War )〕 He died in active service in the Anglo-Boer War. ==Early life== Stanley Spencer Reid was the third child of Rev. John Bentley Reid (1843–1910) and Sibyl Rose Reid, née Drury (1849–1943).〔Sibyl's family name sometimes appears as "Drewry".〕 He was born in Swan Hill, Victoria on 12 July 1872, and was one of their five sons and two daughters.〔The Reid's seven children were Sybil Mary Ethel Reid (Born 1868, Edinburgh), Reginald Bentley Reid (born 1871, Stirling), Stanley Spencer Reid (1872), Francis Bentley Reid (1874), John Cecil Drury Reid (1876–1917) — who worked as a surveyor in the early days of Canberra and the Federal Capital Territory,(Heritage Objects Register Citation (page 6) ), who won the Military Cross,(Recommendation for John Cecil Drury Reid to be awarded a Military Cross ) and who died of wounds sustained in action in World War I,(Australian War Memorial Honour Roll: Lieutenant John Cecil Drury Reid MC ) — Winifred Mona Reid (1885), and William Bremner Reid (1887).

John Reid became its first Presbyterian minister. He was ordained as soon as Swan Hill's first Presbyterian Church, ''The John Knox Church'', was completed in December 1872.〔(Swan Hill Genealogical and Historical Society: Swan Hill at the time of Federation ).〕 After spending some time in Victoria Rev. John Bentley Reid moved to Western Australia. He was the joint minister of both the Leederville and the Subiaco Presbyterian churches in 1899.〔''The West Australian'', 30 September 1899.〕 He died on 10 August 1910, in Victoria, aged 68.〔(Deaths, ''The Argus'', (Thursday, 11 August 1910), p.1. )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stan Reid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
