Kenneth N. MacKenzie
Kenneth N. MacKenzie (26 November 1897 – 29 September 1951) Master R.R.S 'DISCOVERY' THE 'BRITISH, AUSTRALIAN & NEW ZEALAND ANTARCTIC RESEARCH EXPEDITION' (B.A.N.Z.A.R.E) Voyage 1930–1931
== Early life ==
Kenneth Norman MacKenzie was born in Oban, Argyllshire on the west coast of Scotland in 1897 when his father Duncan was in the town's legal administration. Kenneth was the third of four sons – eldest was William (born 1893); he emigrated to his mother's family in New Zealand but was killed at the age of 22 in 1915 whilst fighting with the ANZACS at Gallipoli. Second was Hamish (born 1895) who emigrated to Canada and served the Canadian Bank of Commerce until he was the bank's Chief Inspector at the Toronto head office; he died of a heart attack in 1949 aged 54. Kenneth was third and Douglas (born 1903), the youngest, was fourth. Douglas spent almost his entire career with the Union-Castle Mail Steamship Company trading to South Africa – for the last eight years out of Southampton as Master of the express mail liner 'ARUNDEL CASTLE" – a famous ship built with four funnels. He died of a heart attack in 1969.
Their parents split up in 1904 when their mother, Catherine MacKenzie took her four sons to her father's home in Baugh on the Hebriddean Island of Tiree where her father, Duncan MacFarlane, served as the minister in the Baugh Church. Duncan was one of a family of brothers – four of them, who all became parish ministers in Scotland (in Tiree, Elgin, Greenock and then Glenorchy, Tobermory and then Tiree); all were born on Tiree. The schooling in Tiree was considered unsatisfactory, it only being a small island. So the four MacKenzie sons were sent to stay for their school days with their uncle, Dugald MacFarlane, parish minister for 51 years of St Columba's Church in Kingussie, in Inverness-shire in the heart of the Scottish Highlands. In later years, (1938–1939) Dugald was the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. Dugald was their mother's brother. The Kingussie Public School would seem to have served the boys well and Kenneth MacKenzie learnt to play the bag pipes. In his subsequent life, he was often in demand to write and to give lectures on his experiences. Certainly his uncle was a strict disciplinarian who set a high standard. Evidently the MacKenzie boys were very much 'sons of the manse'.
