Vale Reginald James Chard OAM
NX134343
31 October 1923 – 24 July 2026
With heavy hearts, we farewell Reg Chard, who peacefully passed away today at the remarkable age of 102.

Enlisting at 18, Reg marched through New Guinea's mountains, survived malaria at Eora Creek and the brutal fighting at Sanananda. When he came home, he built a life with his beloved Betty, then honoured his mates' sacrifice by devoting his later years to the Kokoda Track Memorial Walkway, where his voice and spirit became irreplaceable.

We extend our deepest condolences to Reg's family, friends and all the lives he touched throughout his incredible life.

Rest easy, Reg. Your courage lives on in every step along that track.

Lest we forget.
