In 1/1878 Kipling was admitted to the United Services College at Westward Ho! Devon a school founded a few years earlier to prepare boys for the armed forces. The school proved rough going for him at first but led to firm friendships & provided the setting for his schoolboy stories Stalky & Co. published years later. During his time there he met & fell in love with Florence Garrard the model for Maisie in his 1st novel The Light That Failed initially published in 1890 in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine. Dick Heldar is a war correspondent & an artist known for the drawings he sends home to the London papers from wars in exotic places like Sudan. When he returns to London he attempts to make a career for himself as a serious artist & encounters his childhood sweetheart Maisie. They fall in love. Then he learns that a minor problem with his eyes is actually the onset of blindness incurable--the result of a head wound he took during the war. As his vision fails the light of everything around him--his life his hopes his dreams--fail with it. There are terrible choices to be made between the love of the woman he treasures & the love of the men who stood by him at the front. From Goodreads.
