AIF 12th Battalion, 14th Regiment, 1916 Australian War Memorial Negative Number DAX1124 |
After the war his family asked the Australian Red Cross for more details surrounding his death and burial however there was no new information.
Reginald died intestate, his will never being found in any of his service records. There were bequests to him from his uncle, Alfred Tissott, his grandfather, Thomas Henry Merrett, and his father, John Thomas Merrett and this correspondence is available in the digitised copy of his file at The National Archives of Australia. His estate finally went to probate in 1939 with probate being granted to his half-sister Grace Teresa Merrett of Brunswick, Victoria.
