Sir Clutha Nantes Mackenzie (11 February 1895 – 30 March 1966) was a New Zealand politician and worker for the blind. He was briefly a Reform Party Member of Parliament. ==Biography== Mackenzie won the Auckland East electorate in a 1921 by-election after the resignation of Arthur Myers, but was defeated in the next election in 1922 by John A. Lee. A son of Sir Thomas Mackenzie, who was High Commissioner in London and was previously a Liberal politician (and Prime Minister in 1912), he enlisted in the Army in World War I. He was blinded at Gallipoli. He was active in organisations for the blind; he was attached to the UN and was Chairman of the World Braille Council. He was appointed a Knight Bachelor in the 1935 New Year Honours. Later that year he was awarded the King George V Silver Jubilee Medal. Mackenzie died in Auckland in 1966, and his ashes were buried in the Dunedin Northern Cemetery. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clutha Mackenzie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
