About Doug Reeves

Doug Reeves was a member of Eighteenth Battalion Memorial Rifle Club for over 20 years. He joined when the 18Bn was an associate club of North Sydney Rifle Club long before we went out on our own. He served as Club Captain for a couple of years and finally settled in as Club Secretary.

During his service with the club he was responsible for us extending our shooting from Field Class into  Military Matches. Doug was a life-long fan of the SMLE No 1 Mk 111 and he always maintained that the No 4’s would never catch on. Too modern!

He initiated the Martini Match as it was then known, and spent a lot of time traipsing around Sydney looking for memorabilia etc for trophies. One year he went to the Sydney Art Museum and purchased a print of a portrait of the Battle of Rorke’s Drift. I was fortunate enough to win it and it is now framed and hanging on my lounge room wall. Thank you, Doug. I will always have something to remind me of you.

Sadly Doug is no longer with us. After suffering from depression, Doug regrettably took his own life and will ever be remembered by this club for all his efforts. The club has honoured Doug by renaming the Martini Match to the Doug Reeves Memorial Martini Match. Vale Doug.
