Seymour Wilfred Colman Dalziel was born in Balham on 8 February 1898. According to our vendor:

'I remember his regaling me as a child with stories about being attached to the Italian Bersaglieri in the Alps during WWI. For an Englishman of his background, he retained an unusual admiration for the bravery of the Italians! After the War, I believe he spent his whole career with the Commercial Union and was for many years until his retirement head of their Pall Mall office. Those were the days!'

Dalziel died in Surrey in December 1979.
