Kennedy —whom Ellis described as a man of “full-blown eccentricity”—gained his popularity as a chaplain in the British military during World War I. Kennedy, who thought education highly important, decided to enroll in seminary in 1907.
According to Ellis, Kennedy gained immense respect as a “gifted communicator.” He attracted his fellow soldiers’ attention by swearing during his sermons; for being a “common man,” audiences regarded Kennedy with profound trust, respect and admiration.
In one poem, “Waste”, Kennedy said that war was a waste of muscle, brain, patience, pain, manhood, health, beauty, wealth, blood, tears and many years.
