(d.25th Sept 1915)
My Uncle Bill Kennedy, an older brother of my yet-to-be-born mother, was a promising medical student at the University of Aberdeen, where he gained 1st class certificates of merit in his first year.
Initially, her served in the Gordon Highlanders, going into the trenches on his 19th birthday on 8th March 1915, he displayed such conspicuous bravery in carrying urgent despatches across a shell-swept zone, by motorcycle, from his Battalion to Divisional HQ, that he was complimented by the Major-General commanding the Third Division, was recommended for the DCM, and singled out for promotion.
After a six-week course at the French Military College at St Omer, he was instead awarded a commission on the field, 2nd Lieut. in 2nd Battalion, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. After two days leave in August to get his uniform, during which he managed to get home and see his parents for one night, he was killed at Loos, at the head of his platoon, leading them against the enemy, shot through the heart on a day when the battalion lost 10 officers and 112 men. The chaplain Rev Fred Langlands buried him in Cambrin Churchyard on the 28th and wrote to his parents, Dr John Robert Kennedy and Mrs Cecilia Kennedy. My mother, born in 1916, was given the middle name Cambrin, in his memory.

Pte. James Kenny

from:155 Wheatland Lane, Wallasey, Cheshire
(d.3rd Jun 1915)
James Kenny was my Great Uncle. I am not sure when he enlisted in the Yorkshire and Lancashire Regiment. He was wounded in the back. I believe this was by Shrapnel and returned home for a short while. He was advised against drinking alcohol (this may have been possibly due to kidney damage) and two of his sisters Molly and May (my grandmother) accompanied him to Liverpool on a day out to ensure he did not get any. They linked his arms but he started to run and as their skirts restricted them, they had to let go and he ran into a pub. On another occasion he was on top of an open topped bus or tram when some girls shouted 'Throw us down a souvenir Tommy!' and he promptly ripped ornamental flowers from May's hat and threw them down. He returned to the front and was at Hooge in Belgium shortly after. A young soldier who was just posted to the front stood on the fire-step to look over. Realising the danger, James jumped up to pull him down only to be shot through the head by a German sniper. That was on 3rd June, 1915. He was buried somewhere locally but his grave was lost. He is remembered on the Menin Gate.
