I believe Pennington's shop was on Smethwick High Street. Can anyone confirm this? I have seen a photo of the shop with the caption "Smethwick High Street". -- TammyMoet ( talk) 17:23, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

In January 1916 the Military Service Act was passed. This imposed conscription on all single men aged between 18 and 41, but exempted the medically unfit, clergymen, teachers and certain classes of industrial worker. Conscientious objectors – men who objected to fighting on moral grounds– were also exempted, and were in most cases given civilian jobs or non-fighting roles at the front.
How did Pennington come to work in munitions? The work was mostly (but not exclusively!) done by women, so it'd be interesting to learn what his path into the industry was. Was he a conscientious objector, or did he just find paid work in an essential role and get lucky?
There's lots of information on his parents, siblings, wife and child, as well as the fact his shop was a bicycle shop, here: http://www.englandfootballonline.com/TeamPlyrsBios/PlayersP/BioPenningtonJ.html But it should probably be taken from a primary source (i.e. the censuses themselves), rather than someone else's summary.
