Mackie was the only son of George & Mary Mackie. He was born
in Salford and had been a chorister at St Helen’s Church
as well as a member of St Martins Athletic Club. Prior to enlisting
he worked in the drawing office of Heenan and Froude. His war
diary survives, ending abruptly with his death in April 1916 and
is held at the County Records Office, Spetchley, Worcester. He
enlisted in the Worcestershire Regiment in May 1914. In February
1916 the battalions of the 1/7th and 1/8th Worcesters took over
a line of trenches described as deep, gloomy and rat infested,
opposite Serre on the Somme. The battalions relieved each other
in those trenches through until the beginning of April 1916, being
billeted in Colencamps and Coucelles when not in the trenches.
Alternate spells of frost and thaw made life in the trenches miserable,
while heavy falls of snow hampered all work. The enemy’s
shells and rifle grenades caused heavier losses than during previous
months, George Mackie died of wounds received during one such
attack.
