Kenneth was the grandson of Bundaberg's most influential and benevolent founding families, the Kendalls, for whom Kendall Flat is named.  Richard and Salome Kendall, his grandparents, were immigrant agriculturists and purchased 600+ acres of prime land near Bundaberg.  Fittingly they called their homestead "Eden", as it was a place of sanctuary for the homeless, fellow farmers and anyone in need.  When his grandfather died, the Bundaberg gazette wrote, "Bundaberg...has lost one of its most sterling, upright and consistent colonists, who will be impossible to replace."  Kenneth inherited his grandparent's kindness and sense of service, electing to become a fireman in his early manhood.  He never lost his love of the land, or his love for his family and especially his brother, John Burnett Kendall.  His comrade and friend was the fine young soldier Ernest Head who was the first to hear of his passing. Kenneth's grave can be found in Daour Communal Graveyard in France. His headstone is engraved at his mother's request with "no greater love has any man than this".
