A full account of the tragic life of John âJackâ Kipling, son of Rudyard Kipling, lost in battle during World War I. On September 27, 1915, John Kipling, the only son of Britainâs best loved poet, disappeared during the Battle of Loos. His body lay undiscovered for 77 years. Then, in a most unusual move, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) re-marked the grave of an unknown Lieutenant of the Irish Guards, as that of John Kipling. There is considerable evidence that Johnâs grave has been wrongly identified and for the first time in this book, the authorsâ name the soldier they believe is buried in âJohnâs grave.â This is the first biography of Johnâs short life, analyzing the devastating effect it had on his famous fatherâs work. |
