I thought this might be the case.

Very true regarding Daniel's age also.

All of this has been an eye opener. I don't feel as much of a "McKenzie" anymore though.  :(

There is a death certificate in Elham, Kent in the March quarter of 1917 for Charles McKenzie, aged 33. If he was born on 18 May 1882 he would have been 34 on 8 January 1917.

If he had been born on 18 (or indeed 24) May 1883 he would have been 33 on 8 January 1917.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

I believe army Charles is the correct one, given the name of his mother mentioned and location of her being Forfar. The age and date of birth thing is a little confusing, but I can only think it's an error in transcription, communication or the like somewhere along the line.

The amended record for Charles' birth states that he was born in 1882 with 1883 being crossed out.

Scotmum, I believe both links you posted are the same, the attestation paperwork still takes me to his remembrance record there. Thank you for this information and findings though. Much appreciated.

My second link should have been:

http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/military-heritage/first-world-war/personnel-records/Pages/item.aspx?IdNumber=157077

(note to self, don't post links when thinking about starting to make dinner)

showing an address in Manitoba at time of signing up. The 1883 birth date is also clearly written.
