John Hennessey attested for the East Surrey Regiment, and served with the 12th Battalion during the Great War on the Western Front. He died on 1 October 1918; he has no known grave and is commemorated on the Tyne Cot Memorial, Belgium.

The Egypt pair and L.S. & G.C. presumably belonged to a relative.
