	'''Nick Randich''' was born Nick Marchina in Austria. His exact date of birth is unknown, but he was reported by the October 27, 1923 ''Grays Harbor Post'' to be 30-years-old at the time, having started his professional career when he was about 15. In December 1922, Marchina returned to the Aberdeen area after many years abroad. He had left Aberdeen circa 1914 to visit his former home in Austria. His timing was poor, because World War I broke out. He was drafted by the Austrian Army and sent to battle the Russians. He was captured and spent three years as a prisoner-of-war. When he was eventually released, he went back to Austria in 1917. This time the Army sent him to fight on the Halian Front. After the war ended, he traveled some more before returning to the Pacific Northwest. His last bout had been in the spring of 1914 against [[Dick Ultican]]. He had also fought [[Cliff Summerlin]] around that time. Source: ''Tacome News Tribune'', Dec. 26, 1922.		'''Nick Randich''' was born Nick Marchina in Austria.
