Biography contributed by Liz Diamond

"MR D. G. PENDER

The death occurred suddenly on Friday night of Mr David Glaud Pender newsagent of Mornington. He went to Mornington 17 years ago after conducting a newsagency in North Carlton for 3 years. Mr Pender saw active service in the Great War and was wounded in France just before the Armistice. He served in the 10th Fld Coy Engineers with his 2 brothers Lieuts J. T. and J. S. Pender. Mr Pender was a member of the Mornington RSA and was an ARP warden. He leaves a widow and 2 sons. The funeral at Mornington Cemetery on Sunday was largely attended. Returned soldiers accorded him a military funeral. A bugler from the Mt Martha Camp sounded Reveille and the Last Post." - from the Melbourne Argus 22 Sep 1941 (nla.gov.au)
