WW1 1914-15 trio of medals in a modern frame - with copy photo and 2 wound stripes. The medals all correctly impressed 10/409 SJT L A KINZETT NZEF. Louis Kinzett was living in Wanganui working as a wood turner when he enlisted in the Wellington Infantry in October 1914. He served at Gallipoli where he was wounded on 5 May 1915. He is known to have been involved in a brutal bayonet charge earlier. After recovery in Egypt he was returned to Gallipoli 3 months later, narrowly missing his Battalions near obliteration at Chunuk Bair on 8 August. His second wounding was in France on 15 September 1916.
