- Noel_Pharazyn abstract "William Noel Pharazyn (10 April 1894 – 11 June 1980) was a New Zealand soldier, businessman, journalist, lecturer and trade unionist.Noel Pharazyn was born in Wellington, New Zealand in 1894 the son of Charles Pharazyn a substantial Wairarapa sheep farmer of Longwood near Featherston and his second wife Englishwoman Maud Eleanor Kempthorne. His father died when Noel was eight and his mother remarried Gerald, widower son of Prime Minister James Fitzgerald, who was a prominent Wellington civil engineer, architect, accountant and company director. Fitzgerald's sister Amy was married to now deceased Willie Levin and the new merged Fitzgerald family moved to the former Levin house, Pendennis, in Tinakori Road. Both Noel's grandfather Charles Johnson Pharazyn and his uncle Robert Pharazyn had been members of the Legislative Council.Pharazyn was a pupil at Dulwich College London after attending Nelson College in 1908 and 1909. He then gained admission to the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich and joined the Royal Field Artillery in August 1914 as a junior officer. Wounded at the battle of the Somme in 1916 he was promoted to acting Major in 1917 and awarded the Military Cross in November 1918.Noel Pharazyn married Lydia Field on 26 November 1919 at St Paul's in Wellington. This was reported in the media as a 'society wedding'. Being from a well-established family himself, his wife came from a family of Members of Parliament; her uncle Henry Augustus Field had represented the Otaki electorate from 1896 until his death three years later, and her father succeeded him and represented the electorate until 1935 with a three-year break. Another of her relatives, Thomas Field, represented the Nelson electorate for some years.Though his wealth, military background, political, pastoral and business connections and manner might have suggested otherwise Pharazyn became a committed left-wing intellectual in the early 1930s. Asked by Fintan Patrick Walsh to become secretary of the new Wellington Clerical Workers' Union he obtained election as secretary of the New Zealand Federated Clerical and Office Staff Employees' Association and became the union's main spokesperson.In March 1940 he was called up for military service and appointed New Zealand's military attaché in Washington DC with the rank of lieutenant-colonel. After the war he resumed his union involvement but took less prominent roles. He provided much support for F P Walsh and following Walsh's defeat as clerical union president in 1960 Pharazyn ended his union and political involvement.His wife died of cancer in 1971 and Noel Pharazyn died in 1980 in his 87th year. There were no surviving children.".
