Private Kennedy’s records state that he was 18 years old when he volunteered with the 1^st Field Ambulance Canadian Army Medical Corps, on 21 May 1915. He lived with his parents Charles and Mary Kennedy at 288 Hill St., London, ON, and was employed as a printer prior to the war. He was sent into the field in August of that year. An article in the London Free Press clarified that Kennedy lied about his age at the time of the enlistment and was only 15. He was killed in action on 8 August 1918 north of Arras, France.

He is commemorated on page 441 of the First World War Book of Remembrance (Memorial Chamber, Peace Tower, Parliament Hill).
