‎The Irish Guards in the Great War: The First Battalion‎

‎Spellmount Publishers Ltd. Very Good/Very Good. 1996. Hard Cover. 8vo 1873376723 Dust jacket complete slight wear to edges. Original cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership marks. Photographs on plates. 320 pages clean and tight. THE IRISH GUARDS IN THE GREAT WAR originally published in 1923 is Rudyard Kipling's little-known masterpiece an utterly individual contribution to the art of regimental history. Compiled by a man of genius Kipling brought to this work a quick eye to observe a sure hand to portray and a rare spirit of reverence and understanding. In August 1914 Kipling's son John not yet seventeen volunteered for a commission in the Army but being under age and with poor sight was initially refused. He next proposed to enlist in the ranks but his father's friendship with Lord Roberts was used to gain him a commission in the Irish Guards of which Roberts was Colonel-in-Chief. In 1915 he went to France and his Battalion was at once deployed in the costly battle of Loos. John Kipling now aged only eighteen was among the earliest casualties: the whereabouts of his grave was a mystery until 1992. Kipling was devastated. When he was approached about writing a regimental history of the Irish Guards `not on business terms but as a monument of his son's service' he accepted at once and started without delay. Five and a half years of intermittent but laborious research and toil were devoted to the work. It was based on official and private records diaries and personal interviews with members of the regiment. `This will be my great work' said Kipling `it is done with agony and bloody sweat.' The result is both a military and a literary masterpiece. Although of necessity using military terms he employed his exceptional descriptive powers his empathy with fighting men under breaking-strain and his habitual passion for detail to wonderful effect. He confined his main narrative to the field of battle and John Buchan praised Kipling's description of the Battle of the Somme as `a model of what a battle picture should be.' .
