On his own initiative he organised a bombing party, drove back the enemy bombers and secured the left flank which was exposed. On another occasion when the enemy had got a footing in our trench, he ran along the parapet bombing them until he was severely wounded.’ Annotated Gazette states: ‘S.W. Poziers, 23 July 1916 & W. Poziers, 13-14 August 1916.’ The War Record of the 1/4th Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry gives a slightly expanded version of Mazey’s citation, which reads: ‘On 23/7/16 in the attack S.W. of Pozieres, when his own section was depleted, of his own initiative he organised a bomb section from another company and was successful in forcing back the enemy bombers, thereby securing the left flank, which was exposed. Again on the night of 13/8/16, West of Pozieres, when the enemy had obtained a footing in our trench and a local counter-attack was in progress, he himself rushed alone along the parapet throwing bombs down amongst the enemy till he was wounded, losing an eye.’ Edward A. Mazey served in France with the 1/4th Battalion, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, from 25 June 1915. His Medal Index Card also notes service with the Corps of Hussars (No. 326842), Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry (No. 2249)and 19 London Regiment (No. 6722335), together with entitlement to the Silver War Badge. The Regimental Newsletter of January 1972 records ‘Ted’ Mazey as having died in the previous twelve months. Sold with copied entries from War Diary and other research.
