Rudyard Kipling's Blurbs |
About me:
(Joseph) Rudyard Kipling (30 December 1865 - 18 January 1936)
Born in Bombay, British India to (John) Lockwood Kipling, a teacher at the local Jeejeebhoy School of Art, and Alice MacDonald.
One of the most popular writers in English, in both prose and verse, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
On 18 January 1892 aged 26, married Carrie Balestier, aged 29, in All Souls Church, London. First child, Josephine, was born on 29 December 1892. Second daughter, Elsie, was born in February 1896.Third child, John was born in 1897.
In 1907, awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, the first English language writer to receive the prize.
In 1915, John Kipling reported missing, believed killed, in his first battle on the Western Front. In 1917, joined the War Graves Commission.
The Most significant contribution to the project was the selection of the biblical phrase "Their Name Liveth For Evermore" found on the Stones of Remembrance in larger war graves and the suggestion of the phrase "Known unto God" for the gravestones of unidentified servicemen.
Wrote a two-volume history of the Irish Guards, John's regiment, that was published in 1923 and is considered to be one of the finest examples of regimental history. The short story, "The Gardener", depicts visits to the war cemeteries.
Died in London, U.K. of a haemorrhage from a perforated duodenal ulcer at the age of 70. Ashes are buried in Poets' Corner, part of the South Transept of Westminster Abbey, where many literary people are buried or commemorated.
In 1976, sole surviving child, Mrs Elsie Bambridge, died childless. All Copyrights bequeathed by her to the National Trust.
