• Notes

  (Research):During the Second Boer War, he fought as a captain in an Australian regiment, the Prince of Wales' Light Horse, and received the Queen's South Africa Medal with three clasps. On the outbreak of World War I, he returned from the USA to Great Britain and joined the Ayrshire Yeomanry in January 1915. He was passed as "unfit for overseas service" and was appointed an area gas officer in late 1916. Kennedy was briefly posted to France as a gas instructor with the 18th (Eastern) Division in 1918. He resigned his captaincy in the Yeomanry on 14 January 1921.
