Lieutenant John Kipling, 2nd Battalion, Irish Guards.
Killed in Action, 27/09/1915, nearly six weeks after his eighteenth birthday
“Have you news of my boy Jack?”
Not this tide.
“When d’you think that he’ll come back?”
Not with this wind blowing, and this tide.
“Has any one else had word of him?”
Not this tide.
For what is sunk will hardly swim,
Not with this wind blowing, and this tide.
“Oh, dear, what comfort can I find?”
None this tide,
Nor any tide,
Except he did not shame his kind —
Not even with that wind blowing, and that tide.
Then hold your head up all the more,
This tide,
And every tide;
Because he was the son you bore,
And gave to that wind blowing and that tide!
Born 17/08/1897 at "The Elms" at Rottingdean in Sussex, the only son of the British author Rudyard Kipling.
Kipling was 16 when the First World War broke out in August 1914. His father, a keen imperialist and patriot, was soon writing propaganda on behalf of the British government. Rudyard sought to get his son a commission, but John was rejected by the Royal Navy due to severe short-sightedness. He was also initially rejected by the army for similar reasons.
However, Rudyard Kipling was friends with Frederick Roberts, 1st Earl Roberts, a former Commander-in-Chief of the British Army, and Colonel of the Irish Guards, and through this influence, John Kipling was commissioned as a second lieutenant into the 2nd Battalion, Irish Guards on 15 August 1914, having just turned 17. After reports of the Rape of Belgium and the sinking of the RMS Lusitania in 1915, Rudyard Kipling came to see the war as a crusade for civilisation against barbarism, and was even more keen that his son should see active service.
After completing his training, John Kipling was sent to France in August along with the rest of the battalion, which was part of the 2nd Guards Brigade of the Guards Division. His father was already there on a visit, serving as a war correspondent.
Kipling was reported injured and missing in action on 27/09/1915 during the Battle of Loos, whilst attacking near the village of Hulluch. There remains no definite evidence relating to the cause of his death but credible reporting indicates he was last seen attacking a German position, possibly with a head injury. With fighting continuing, his body was not identified.
His parents searched vainly for him in field hospitals and interviewed comrades to try to identify what had happened. A notice was published in The Times on 7 October 1915 confirming the known facts that he was "wounded and missing".
The death of John inspired Rudyard Kipling to become involved with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and write a wartime history of the Irish Guards. The poem My Boy Jack also alludes to the wartime loss of a son, although its themes are rather nautical. He also wrote the short verse: "'My son died laughing at some jest, I would I knew / What it were, and it might serve me at a time when jests are few."
Kipling's grave was reportedly identified in 1992, and he is officially listed as buried in St Mary's ADS Cemetery in Haisnes. In 2002, research by military historians Tonie and Valmai Holt suggested that this grave may be that of another officer, Arthur Jacob of the London Irish Rifles.
However, in January 2016 further research demonstrated that the original identification of the grave was in fact correct. A spokesman for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission stated that it "welcomed the latest research which supports the identification of the grave of John Kipling".
"Si piensas que estás vencido, lo estás.
Si piensas que no te atreves, no lo harás.
Si piensas que te gustaría ganarpero no puedes,
no lo lograrás.
Si piensas que perderás, ya has perdido,
porque en el mundo encontrarás que el éxito comienza
con la voluntad del hombre.
Todo está en el estado mental.
Porque muchas carreras se han perdido
antes de haberse corrido,
y muchos cobardes han fracasado,
antes de haber su trabajo empezado.
Piensa en grande y tus hechos crecerán.
Piensa en pequeño y quedarás atrás.
Piensa que puedes y podrás.
Todo está en el estado mental.
Si piensas que estás aventajado, lo estás.
Tienes que pensar bien para elevarte.
Tienes que estar seguro de ti mismo,
antes de intentar ganar un premio.
La batalla de la vida no siempre la gana
el hombre más fuerte, o el más ligero,
porque tarde o temprano,
el hombre que gana,
es aquél que cree poder hacerlo."
Title
Lest we forget / Davenport.
Summary
Cartoon shows Uncle Sam as a well-dressed stalwart figure wearing striped pants and a waistcoat covered with stars, carrying a tall hat. Behind him stands another Uncle Sam, but this one is emaciated, shabby, and dejected. "Lest we forget" is the refrain in Rudyard Kipling's poem, Recessional, published in 1897 at the height of the British empire. In the poem, Kipling warns against the perils of pride and the impermanence of power. The United States emerged from the Spanish American war in 1899 as a quasi-imperial power. The cartoonist may be cautioning the nation to remember its humble beginnings.

“To Mr Kipling is due the revival of the short story, and without controversy he is, among English writers, the greatest living master of this deceitfully simple ‘form’.” (Taken from my copy of Cassell’s Universal Portrait Gallery, published in 1895.)
There are other illustrations from the book here. And there are more Kipling images, principally from his home, Burwash, here.
Kipling looks a little rough after a bath. But that's okay. Because after bathtime is FRANTIC RUN AROUND TIME GO GO OMG RUN IN CIRCLES.
From Wikipedia:
"In architecture, a gargoyle is a carved stone grotesque with a spout designed to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building. Preventing rainwater from running down masonry walls is important because running water erodes the mortar between the stone blocks. The term originates from the French gargouille, originally "throat" or "gullet".
A grotesque figure, also known as gargoyle, is a sculpture that does not work as a waterspout and serves only an ornamental or artistic function
Gargoyles are usually an elongated fantastic animal because the length of the gargoyle determines how far water is thrown from the wall. When Gothic flying buttresses were used, aqueducts were sometimes cut into the buttress to divert water over the aisle walls.
Many medieval cathedrals included gargoyles and chimeras. The most famous examples are those of Notre Dame de Paris. Gargoyles are said to scare off and protect from any evil or harmful spirits. Often gargoyles were used to assist the Church in conveying messages to the common people. Since literacy was uncommon, images were the best way to constantly convey ideas. Gargoyles were used as a representation of evil. It is thought that they were used to scare people into coming to church, reminding them that the end of days is near. It is also thought that their presence assured congregants that evil is kept outside of the church’s walls."
From Wikipedia:
"The Collegiate Church of St Peter at Westminster, which is almost always referred to popularly and informally as Westminster Abbey, is a large, mainly Gothic church, in Westminster, London, England (UK), located just to the west of the Palace of Westminster. It is the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English, later British and later still (and currently) monarchs of the Commonwealth Realms. The abbey is a Royal Peculiar and briefly held the status of a cathedral from 1546 to 1556.
Westminster Abbey is governed by the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, as established by Royal Charter of Queen Elizabeth I in 1560, which created it as the Collegiate Church of St Peter Westminster and a Royal Peculiar under the personal jurisdiction of the Sovereign.
According to a tradition first reported by Sulcard in about 1080, the Abbey was first founded in the time of Mellitus (d. 624), Bishop of London, on the present site, then known as Thorn Ey (Thorn Island); based on a late tradition that a fisherman called Aldrich on the River Thames saw a vision of Saint Peter near the site. This seems to be quoted to justify the gifts of salmon from Thames fishermen that the Abbey received in later years. In the present era, the Fishmongers' Guild still gives a salmon every year. The proven origins are that in the 960s or early 970s, Saint Dunstan, assisted by King Edgar, installed a community of Benedictine monks here. A stone abbey was built around 1045–1050 by King Edward the Confessor as part of his palace there and was consecrated on 28 December 1065, only a week before the Confessor's death and subsequent funeral and burial. It was the site of the last coronation prior to the Norman conquest of England, that of his successor Harold II. From 1245 it was rebuilt by Henry III who had selected the site for his burial.
Since the coronations in 1066 of both King Harold and William the Conqueror, coronations of English and British monarchs were held in the Abbey.[1][7] Henry III was unable to be crowned in London when he first came to the throne because the French prince Louis had taken control of the city, and so the king was crowned in Gloucester Cathedral. However, this coronation was deemed by the Pope to be improper, and a further coronation was held in the Abbey on 17 May 1220.
Many Kings and Queens of England are buried there. Poets and writers are also buried or memorialised in what became known as Poets' Corner. These include: Geoffrey Chaucer, William Blake, Robert Burns, Lord Byron, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Charles Dickens, John Dryden, George Eliot, T. S. Eliot, Thomas Gray, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Samuel Johnson, John Keats, the Brontë sisters, Rudyard Kipling, John Masefield, John Milton, Laurence Olivier, Alexander Pope, Nicholas Rowe, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Jane Austen, Thomas Shadwell, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Dylan Thomas and William Wordsworth."

The current Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were married at the abbey in April 2011.

Securely, after days
Unnumbered, I behold
Kings mourn that promised praise
Their cheating bards foretold.
Of earth constricting Wars,
Of Princes passed in chains,
Of deeds out-shining stars,
No word or voice remains.
Yet furthest times receive,
And to fresh praise restore,
Mere breath of flutes at eve,
Mere seaweed on the shore.
A smoke of sacrifice;
A chosen myrtle-wreath;
An harlot's altered eyes;
A rage 'gainst love or death;
Glazed snow beneath the moon–
The surge of storm-bowed trees–
The Caesars perished soon,
And Rome Herself: But these
Endure while Empires fall
And Gods for Gods make room...
Which greater God than all
Imposed the amazing doom?
