He had been a schoolfriend of Edward Burne-Jones in Birmingham and had been engaged to Kipling's aunt Caroline. Trix is Kipling's younger sister Alice. At the beginning of the First World War like many other writers Kipling wrote pamphlets and poems enthusiastically supporting the UK war aims of restoring Belgium after it had been occupied by Germany together with generalised statements that Britain was standing up for the cause of good. In September 1914 Kipling was asked by the government to write propaganda an offer that he accepted. In 1914 Kipling was one of 53 leading British authors a number that included H. G. Wells Arthur Conan Doyle and Thomas Hardy who signed their names to the "Authors' Declaration." This manifesto declared that the German invasion of Belgium had been a brutal crime and that Britain "could not without dishonour have refused to take part in the present war." unknown
