Archibald Frank Engelbach (1881-1961) was an English badminton player. He competed in the All England Championships winning the Men's doubles title in 1920 under the alias A Fee. He was a schools gymnastic champion before taking up badminton and became a prominent badminton judge. This resulted in him being uncapped for the England team.[2] In 1930 he married Violet Baddeley, also a well known badminton player, daughter of Herbert Baddeley, the four time winner of the Wimbledon doubles. He died on December 1961 at his home in London aged 80.[3]
