Geoffrey Anketell Studdert Kennedy, MC (27 June 1883 – 8 March 1929), was an Anglican priest and poet. He was nicknamed 'Woodbine Willie' during World War I for giving Woodbine cigarettes along with spiritual aid to injured and dying soldiers.

I used that link you gave us- Indeed Woodbine Willie was an interesting man- but what caught my eye, as above, was "Anglican Priest" I was thinking could this be the lead we need to track down this nasty namesake- Is the fiend we search for also an Anglican Priest....or just some beer drinking northerner? hahaha.
