At the 1938 British Empire Games he was a member of the English boat which won the gold medal in the eights competition. Kingsford joined the Irish Guards and served in World War II. He was awarded the Military Cross for action on 3 August 1944 when he commanded a combat group ordered to seize the crossroads near Saint-Charles-de-Percy. They were initially held up by machine-gun and anti-tank fire but achieved their objective on the third attempt. His medal citation noted "He handled his group with great skill and daring. Had Captain Kingsford not persisted in his efforts to overcome this opposition, great delay would have been imposed in the execution of the Divisional plan." A week later he was killed in action at Tilly-sur-Seulles. (en)
