Biography

Charles (Penny) Pennie was born in Scotland.

Name

Family lore has him as Charles Kier not Kerr or Karr. Kerr is logical because it is his mother's maiden name. His service record someone has handwritten in Karr. But family lore says his middle name came from his father's former business partner. Marjorie Tennant who married James Kenneth Pennie knew him. She said his middle nae was not Kerr but Kier.

On another of the 80 documents it has him as Private, Regiment 1st CORD. CORD can mean either CORD Central Ontario Regimental Depot - facility in England used to assemble men and to store and administer equipment and materials (OR Commanding Officer Reserve Divisions, but since his rank was listed as Private we believe it is the Regimental Depot description).
