Biography
The son of a civil servant, Francis Kemp was a qualified barrister, although he never practised. He later became a doctor and was a director of the East End Fevers Hospital in Hackney, London. He later became a general practitioner (GP) at Walsall, in the West Midlands.
Although he competed in two small-bore rifle events at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, Kemp was also a fine pistol and miniature rifle shot. In 1910 he helped London to win the triangular inter-county match against Lincolnshire and Lancashire. In 1920 Kemp was granted the Freedom of the City of London.
