Reg Buzzell NZ ASC

[Terry_Reeves]

Can anybody help with information about Reg Buzzell pictured below. The photograph was taken in Birmingham in December 1918. Presumably he had some family links with the city. He appears to have been in the New Zealand Army Service Corps.

They were the sons of Robert and Annie (Cruickshank)Brizzell of 44 Franklin Rd Ponsonby Auckland, who had married in NZ in 1889.

Both returned from the war

Reginald married Elsie Hannah Hughes and Robert married Sara Allison

Reginald died in 1969 as a despatch manager

Any connection with Birmingham must have been before 1889
