I received David Penman's Passchendaele poppy and have been trying to reserach him ever since. It means a lot to me that I can update his profile so he can always be remembered.

Private David Robertson Penman 1st Battalion Royal Scots Fusiliers 33603.

Born 1886 St. Mary’s Dundee. (around 16th May - unconfirmed)

Married Helen ‘Nellie’ Swan Gray in 1909 at Mains and Strathmartine, Angus.

He was a jute preparer living with his wife and three children (David, Lizzie & John) in Dundee when he enlisted in March 1916. He was mobilised in June and went to France in December.

Died 26/09/17 aged 31 in Belgium and is remembered on the Tyne Cot Memorial.
