Sir Kenneth Hagar Kemp CBE (21 April 1853 – 22 April 1936) was an English baronet, lawyer, soldier, banker and landowner who also played first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and Cambridge University in a few matches in the 1870s.
[2][3] His father died when he was six years old, and Kemp was then educated at the Clergy Orphan School in Canterbury, followed by Jesus College, Cambridge.
[1] He was a middle- or lower-middle-order batsman and for the "England" team he bowled three overs without taking a wicket; his highest score was also in that game with an innings of 41.
He joined the part-time West Norfolk Militia as a supernumerary Second lieutenant on 10 January 1877[7] while he trained as a lawyer, being called to the bar in 1880.
[2] He retired from the militia (by then the Special Reserve) in 1910 with the honorary rank of Colonel, but returned to duty on the outbreak of World War I, commanding the 2nd (Home Service) Garrison Battalion, Suffolk Regiment in 1916,[9] and then returning to his former command, 3rd Battalion Norfolk Regiment, until July 1917.
