George Kendall was born in 1889 in Deeping Fen, Lincolnshire, England as the sixth child of Edward Kendall and Elizabeth Lee. He had eight siblings: Ellen, John, Sarah Ann, Walter, Mabel, Charlie, Caroline, and William. He died on the 19th November 1914 at No 11 General Hospital in Boulogne (France)

George joined the war in the very early months, he had only married a few months earlier in July 1914 to Edith Ringham when tension in Europe had not yet errupted into war. He was 25 when he went off to fight, it is believed that he was injured in an early conflict and died later of wounds. He is burried in Boulogne-sur-le-Mur at the site of the old field hospital. Due to the sandy soil his headstone lays flat on the ground, he is burried next soldiers from around the commonwealth.

It is unknown what happened to Edith after the war. However his brother William had a son almost a year to the day George died (born the 15th November 1915), it is believed he named his son George in memory of his brother.
