Pair: Private W. Mazzie, Welsh Regiment

1914
Star (9383 Pte. W. Mazzie, 2/Welsh R.); Victory Medal 1914-19 (9383 Pte. W. Mazzie, Welsh R.), together with an enamelled ‘Comrades of the Great War’ lapel badge, very fine (3) £80-100

William Mazzie (or Mazzei) arrived in France on 27 August 1914, as a Private in the 2nd Battalion, Welsh Regiment. He was subsequently discharged in June 1916 and awarded the Silver War Badge.

A relative, Louis Mazzie - possibly his brother - died on active service with the 1st Battalion, South Wales Borderers, in October 1914; his son, William John Mazzie, was killed in action in North-West Europe in July 1944, while serving as a Corporal in the Welsh Regiment; sold with a poignant collection of original documentation in respect of the latter.
