Francis Smyth Baden-Powell, always known as Frank, (29 July 1850 - 1933) was a British barrister, officer and painter. ==Biography== Frank Bade-Powell was born on 29 July 1850, the third son of the Rev. Prof Baden Powell and his third wife Henrietta Grace Smyth. Frank's elder full brothers were Warington Baden-Powell and Sir George Baden-Powell, and he had two younger brothers, Robert Baden-Powell and Baden Baden-Powell, and a younger sister, Agnes Baden-Powell. There was another brother Augustus (May 1849 – March 1863) who died aged 13. His father had had another son, Baden Henry Powell, by his second wife. After he took Honours at Balliol College, Oxford, Frank was then called to the Bar from the Inner Temple.

The BP that I had charge of was Frank Baden-Powell... he got his photo I believe and that is the main thing."〕 Frank was a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frank Baden-Powell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
