More about William Kemp
The People’s Journal, Saturday, June 22, 1918. Page 12, Column 3
KEMP.- At Connaught Hospital, Aldershot, suddenly, on 31st May,
William Kemp, beloved husband of Mrs E. Kemp.
Time may heal the broken-hearted,
Time may make the wound less sore,
But time can never stop the longing,
For the loved one gone before.
Inserted by his sorrowing wife and family, Mrs Kemp, 221 Lochee Rd., Dundee
