LAWRENCE KENNY                                                                                                                                                                    FULL REPORT
Military mounted police cap badge ww1Lawrence Kenny was born in St Giles, London in 1882.  He joined Birmingham City Police on 12th June 1909, with warrant number 8115, and in 1911 was living at Aston Manor Police Station.  In June 1912 Lawrence was disciplined, perhaps unfairly as he resigned from the police shortly after.  When war broke out Lawrence rejoined the force on 12th August 1914 as a 32 year old. He served on the ‘D’ Division with warrant number 8522 and collar number D40.  At the end of January 1915 Lawrence, along with several colleagues, underwent a horse riding test, which he clearly passed as he then resigned on 9th February 1915 to join the Military Mounted Police as a Lance Corporal.
He served on the Middle Eastern theatre but caught enteric fever and died at No17 General Hospital in Alexandria, Egypt, on 9th August 1915 and was buried at Alexandria (Chatby) Military and War Cemetery.
