Quoted from 'Lost Lives':

"John Reid, a Full-Time member of the UDR, lived at Main St, Caledon. He had land on both sides of the border.
He at one time had lived at Tannagh about three miles from Caledon. He moved to Caledon after a booby-trap bomb exploded at the home."
John is buried in Minterburn Presbyterian Church yard, in a family plot.
