Sir Coleridge Arthur Fitzroy Kennard (1885-1948) was educated at Eton and circulated in Oscar Wilde's milieu (his mother financed the Epstein memorial for Wilde at Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris). He was a great friend of Vyvyan Holland, the son of Oscar Wilde, & also close to the novelist Ronald Firbank & was for many years Firbank's most ardent supporter and literary confidant.
