Description: Selected from the Knight family papers (MS-Group-0462), which include the papers of three brothers who fought in the First World War. George Bernard Knight and Herbert Augustine Knight served in the Otago Infantry Battalion and William Douglas Knight served with the Auckland Infantry Battalion during World War One. They were all killed in action, Herbert at Gallipoli and William and George in France. George Knight left Wellington aboard the `Apirama' with the 3rd reinforcements of the NZEF. After training in Egypt Knight landed at Gallipoli in May 1915 where he saw action with the Otago Infantry Battalion until he was wounded and hospitalised in Egypt. The letters describe Knight's experiences during the period they cover. See also MSX-4226(1-6); MSX-4227(1-7) and MS-Papers-5548-01-MS-Papers-5548-09.
The fourth volume of Rudyard Kipling's letters, now collected and edited for the first time, continues the story of his life from the end of the Edwardian era through the Great War, a crisis in Kipling's life as well as in that of the world. The years before the war saw the publication of Rewards and Fairies and Songs from Books. In politics, the great issue was Irish home rule and the fate of Ulster. At the outbreak of the war Kipling devoted himself to the struggle. He wrote patriotic verse, made recruiting speeches, and traveled as a correspondent to the French and Italian fronts. He published no new fiction, only what he wrote as correspondent and propagandist: France at War, The Fringes of the Fleet, and The Eyes of Asia. In 1915 his only son, John, was killed in the Battle of Loos; at the same time Kipling began to suffer from the undiagnosed ulcer that would torment him for the rest of his life. His last volume of poems, The Years Between, published in 1919, embodies the suffering and bitterness of these years.
"The letters that follow are those of a young painter who was at the front from September [1914] till the beginning of April [1915]; at the latter date he was missing in one of the battles of the Argonne. Are we to speak of him in the present tense or in the past? We know not: since the day when the last mud-stained paper reached them, announcing the attack in which he was to vanish, what a close weight of silence for those who during eight months lived upon these almost daily letters! But for how many women, how many mothers, is a grief like this to-day a common lot!" This book is part of the World War One Centenary series; creating, collating and reprinting new and old works of poetry, fiction, autobiography and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history. Each publication also includes brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the reader place the work in its historical context.
