Biography
The following text was transcribed from the The Edmundian (1814-1819) – The contemporary magazine of St Edmund’s College:
His obituary was shared with Henry Lovell.
It is with great regret that we have to record the death in action, of two of our Divines.
Mr. Kerry came to the Divines' Wing from Lisbon at Easter 1916, and had to leave us to join the Army in Nov., 1916. He was killed on April 18th, 1918.
Mr. Lovell who was born in Exeter, Sept. 21st, 1891, and became a Catholic in 1909, entered Philosophy in September, 1919. A period of ill health kept him away from the College from Nov. 1916 to April 1917, he too, however, had to leave to join the Army on June 22, 1917. He was killed on April 9, 1918. Both students belong to the Diocese of Nottingham. May they rest in peace.
