## Coat of Arms

Arms of the Hon. Vincent Kingston (1915-1944)

**Hon. Vincent Vincent "Vince" Kingston** (b. 10 January, 1915-d. 15 August, 1944) is the third child and second son of Charles, 6th Viscount Somerset and Anne, Dowager Viscountess Somerset. He was a member of the Kingston Family by birth, of the de Noailles family by his marriage, and an honorary member of the Crawley Family.

He was a member of The Fellowship up until his death.

## Biography

Vince was born on the 10 January, 1915 to the Viscount and Viscountess Somerset. It made him the youngest member of The Fellowship.

He was next in line to his brother in the title succession up until his oldest brother's marriage in 1929, making him go down to fourth as the couple had three sons. He had two younger siblings, twins Julianne and Emmanuel—both of which he cared so deeply.

He was devasted at the death of his father Charles in 1925, as he and him had a very close relationship with one another, and it was no question that he was his father's favorite—rather than his older brother Philip.

Vince fought at the Battle of Normandy, which lasted from the 6th of June to the 30th of August, 1944. He was unfortunately killed in battle on the 15 August, 1944. He was the last of the original four members to die in the war, leaving Alex the only survivor among them.

## Education

Vince was educated by his mother in their home, Badminton House, during the First World War. After the war, he was transferred to Hampton School, where he met his future best friends: Alex Crawley, Richie Gifford, and Alfie McGregor. Together, they would be the four original members of The Fellowship.

At age 13, he and his friends transferred to Harrow School. He became the president of the school's theatre company and one of the prominent member's of the school's rugby team.

Like Alex, he very much broke the tradition of going to military academies after one's secondary education. He enrolled in the University College, Oxford. He graduated the university with Latin honors in the Theatre Arts.

After college, he then enrolled at the Royal Military Academy—Sandhurst, where he was at the top his class and was awarded with the Sword of Honour, for being considered by the Commandant to be the best of the intake.

## Appearance and Personality

Vince inherited his father's strawberry blonde hair and his mother's brown eyes.

He is a shy and reserved person. He prefers to listen to his friends rather than talk and share his own. He always held his diary, where he writes scripts for his future plays in the theatre on day—which didn't happen upon his death. He also makes the best sarcastic remarks whenever he speaks up, leaving his friends speechless at times.

He is also the co-mastermind in the pranks and jokes that their group make. He may not say much, but his cleverness and sharp-tongue makes him all the more memorable amongst his peers.
