about

Nicknamed `Woodbine Willie’ for giving out cigarettes along with portions of Scripture, WW1 chaplain Geoffrey Studdert Kennedy (1883-1929) was a legend in his own lifetime. Like many clergy he initially supported war but the realities of the Western Front left him disillusioned and asking questions about God. Nevertheless, his faith and tireless commitment took him well beyond the call of duty – whether in helping soldiers write letters home or risking his life to rescue the wounded. His poems `Faith’ and `Waste’ are referred to in this song. (Another hymn, `The Day Thou Gavest Lord Is Ended’, seemed to fit!)
