Mr Reginald L. Barker, 40, was born in London and lived in Mayhaith, Old Shirley, Hampshire.

He initially signed-on to the Titanic in Belfast for her delivery trip to Southampton. He signed on again as a Purser on 6 April 1912, although listed no differently from his colleague Herbert McElroy he was paid at a lower rate (£15 per month). His last ship had been the Majestic.

On Sunday, 14 April, Reginald Barker conducted a short service for the passengers in the Second Class Dining Saloon.

After the collision, as the water reached C-Deck, Barker stood with McElroy, Dr O'Loughlin and Dr J. Edward Simpson. For a brief time they were joined by Second Officer Herbert Lightoller, they shook hands and said goodbye.

Barker died in the sinking. His body, if recovered, was never identified.
