Carr Glyn displayed his total support for British involvement in the First World War three weeks after War was declared. In a sermon in the Cathedral for Christians of all denominations, he said ‘This war has been unsought and undesired by us. We are not fighting for increase of dominion or for enlargement of territory, but in spite of every endeavour to maintain the peace of Europe we now find ourselves necessarily and inevitably involved in a war which in severity and endurance is likely to surpass the recorded wars of English history’.<ref name="ReferenceA">Peterborough Diocesan Magazine, September, 1914</ref> He praised parents, sisters, lovers and friends for letting family members go off to the War.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> He sanctioned a prayer for animals suffering in the War,<ref>Peterborough Diocesan Magazine, December, 1914</ref> instituted parochial Rolls of Honour of those serving in the forces<ref name="ReferenceB">Peterborough Diocesan Magazine, January, 1915</ref> and had church bells ring at noon each day as a call to private prayer.<ref name="ReferenceB"/> He lost a son in the War.<ref>Peterborough Diocesan Magazine, February, 1915</ref>
