Additional Data: Gordon Reis studied Agriculture at Edinburgh University after attending the Royal High School.  He spent one year at Munich University studying forestry and he then joined, before World War One, Harrison Crossfields in Sumatra where he ran one of their estates.  He remained there throughout World War One.

His sister, Norah Evelyn Reis, studied Music at Heidelberg University.   His brother Cyril Herbert Stafford Reis studied Spanish and is reputed to have been a spy in the docks of Spain during WWI.  After the war, Cyril left for the Argentine and is said to have managed Libby's (?) in Buenos Aires.  It is also believed that he had two daughters, both of whom are supposed to have been killed in a car accident in the Argentine.

Gordon Reis had six siblings: Harold, Emile, Albert Victor, Cyril Herbert, Norah Evelyn, and Louis Norman.

Gordon Reis met his future wife, Winifred Cran, when he returned to Edinburgh from Sumatra after WWI. They both had studied Agriculture at Edinburgh under a Professor Robert Wallace through whom they met when he invited them to Tea one day. 

It would appear that they soon after got engaged but that Gordon Reis returned to the Far East almost immediately. Winifred then completed her studies at Edinburgh becoming the first woman in Scotland to be awarded a degree in agriculture.  As soon as she had graduated, she left Scotland, unaccompanied, arriving in Burma in 1921 and marrying Gordon Reis in Rangoon.  A year later their daughter was born.

From about 1920 to 1939 Gordon and Winifred lived most of the time on a rubber estate called Batu Kawan on the island of M ......, off Penang.  This was a French owned estate (Societe International .....). Gordon also co-owned, with Thomas Menzies, an estate called Sungei Wei in Selangor state outside Kuala Lumpur on the Malay peninsular.  

In 1939 Gordon Reis fell gravely ill suffering from a gangrenous appendix leading to septicemia followed by pneumonia, a coronary thrombosis and a pulmonary embolism. He spent months in Penang General Hospital after which he took six months leave and in 1940 traveled to New Zealand and Australia with his wife and daughter.  There they left her behind in Sydney where she boarded in a hostel for single young ladies and began to train as a beautician; her parents having insisted that it was now time for her to begin a career for herself.  They returned to Singapore where Gordon Reis joined Cable and Wireless.  However the Japanese were already beginning their march south through Burma.  Realizing war was imminent Allwynne returned to Singapore. Above right is Gordon Reis in Sumatra in 1918.

The story is taken up in Gordon Reis' own diary which he kept after the fall of Singapore and which can be read HERE (<-- PDF (over 70 pages)).  His death was from beri beri as a result of malnutrition brought about at the hands of the Japanese.  Gordon is memorialized HERE. 

On the back of this photo of Gordon Reis and his wife Winifred is written "December 26th, 5.15 PM. Tea! all the dogs glad to see us back. They evidently didn't realise their photos were being taken. Sorry."   I guess this picture was taken in the late 1930's.
