• Notes

  MILITARY FUNERAL. MILITARY FUNERAL TO BE ACCORDED. LATE C. C. PENNEY. The death took place on Saturday of Cyril Charles, the eldest son of Mr and Mrs James Penney, of Feilding. The deceased, who was a returned soldier, had suffered ill-health through a complaint contracted whilst serving with the N.Z.E.F. on Gallipoli Peninsular, and it was this which has been responsible for his untimely death. Both as a civilian and a soldier, Mr Penney served his country and the news of his demise will be received with much regret. Deceased, who was 30 years of age, leaves a widow and young family. The funeral, at which full military honours will be accorded the deceased, will leave Mr Penney's late residence, Lytton Street, at 3 p.m, to-day for the Feilding cemetery.

The military funeral of the late Cyril Charles Penney took place yesterday afternoon, and the very lengthy cortege testified the esteem in which deceased was held. As a member of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force who saw service on Gallipoli Peninsula, deceased was accorded military honours. The cortege moved off from Mr Penney's late residence Lytton Street, shortly after 2 p.m, headed by a firing party supplied by "D" company of the 5th Wellington West Coast Regiment, under Sergt. Major Ryan, and then came the Salvation Army Band followed by the gun carriage supplied by the Palmerston North depot. The pall bearers were uniformed members of the N.Z.E.F. and a large number of returned soldiers followed the carriage. Among those present were: Mr W. J. Bramwell (Feilding & District Patriotic Society), Dr Cameron, Mr R. W. Reed, and Mr C. L. Redmond (Returned Soldiers' Association), and Councillors D. Pryde, A. McCorkindale, and J. E. Barltrop (Borough Council), Messrs O. McElroy and A. Campbell (Farmers? Union) and many others. The service at the graveside was conducted by Chaplain A. Mitchell.
