Kennedy | Charles Thomas | | Private | He served in the Boer War, 1899-1902, and was awarded the Victoria Cross [London Gazette, 18 October 1901]: 'C Kennedy, Private, 2nd Battalion Highland Light Infantry. At Dewetsdorp, on the 22nd November 1900, Private Kennedy carried a comrade, who was dangerously wounded and bleeding to death, from Gibraltar Hill to the hospital, a distance of three-quarters of a mile, under a very hot fire. On the following day, volunteers having been called for to take a message to the Commandant across a space over which it was almost certain death to venture, Private Kennedy at once stepped forward. He did not, however, succeed in delivering the message, as he was severely wounded before he had gone twenty yards'.
He was killed in Edinburgh, 24 April, 1907. A horse attached to a contractor's cart had bolted in Leith Walk, and in making a plucky attempt to stop it, he was knocked down, and the wheels passed over him. He was so seriously injured that he died on his way to the Royal Infirmary.
