THE CARRINGTON EXTRACTS CUMULATIVE INDEX – PEOPLE, PLACES AND THINGS – TO 1918 (INCLUSIVE) This index has been compiled straight from the text of the ‘Extracts’ (from January 1914 onwards, these include the ‘Rees Extracts’. – in the Index we have differentiated between them by using the same date conventions as in the text – black date for Carrington, Red date for Rees). In listing the movements, particularly of Kipling and his family, it is not always clear when who went where and when. Thus, “R. to Academy dinner” clearly refers to Kipling himself going alone to the dinner (as, indeed would have been the case – it was, in the 1890s, a men-only affair). But “Amusing dinner, Mr. Rhodes’s” probably refers to both of them going, and has been included as an entry under both Kipling, Caroline, and Kipling, Rudyard. There are many other similar events. And there are entries recording that, e.g., “Mrs. Kipling leaves”, without any indication of when she had come – but if it’s not in the ‘Extracts’ (though it may well have been in the original diaries) then, of course, it has not been possible to index it. The date given is the date of the diary entry which is not always the date of the event. Another factor is that both Carrington and Rees quite often mentions a name without further explanation or identification. We assume that they were recorded, with a view to mentioning the subject in the text of the biography, but that the author changed his mind or edited it out for some reason. In some cases, later biographers have picked up the reference, and explained it. In those cases, we have gratefully recorded their identification.

    Caroline Kipling

    The Rees and Carrington Extracts From the diaries of ` Caroline Kipling 1910 1910 Jan. Engelberg. No entries till John leaves for school with Ellen, 26 Jan. Their first week at Engelberg (they left Bateman’s on 30 December 1909) was not much fun: Carrie had been ill at home – it had been a very wet autumn – and remained ill for at least the first week of their stay at Engelberg. Kipling wrote to his mother-in-law describing their tribulations (PINNEY, Letters, Vol. 3, p. 404-5). Ellen was evidently one of the maids at Bateman’s. LYCETT, (p. 404) lists a maid named Ellen among the Bateman’s staff who attended a parish memorial service for King Edward VII later that summer. It must have been quite an adventure for her to travel out to Switzerland at her employer’s expense, and something of a responsibility to take charge of his 12-year-old son to take back to England, though John was quite a seasoned traveller. Jan. The only entry between December 19h 1909 and February 20th 1910 is on Jan. 26 stating that John left for school with Ellen. Letters, however show that the Ks left home for Engelberg on 30 Dec. `09. 16 Feb. (An allusion to the Baldwins – with them.) There’s a further confirmation of the presence of the Baldwins at Engelberg in the letter to John cited immediately below. 26 Feb. To Geneva. Saw Mr . Feb. 26 Leave Engelberg 10 a.m. Arrive Geneva 7.30 p.m. They were on the first leg of a long cross-country journey from Engelberg to Vernet-les-Bains (see below).

We would also emphasise that the index does not necessarily give a complete record of who the Kiplings met, where they met them and what they did. It’s only an index of what remains of Carrie’s diaries, as recorded by Carrington and Rees. (We know a lot more about those people, places and things from, for example, Kipling’s published correspondence – but if they’re not in the diary extracts, then they won’t be found in this index.) Another factor is that both Carrington and Rees quite often mentions a name without further explanation or identification.

    HERE, MY SON Rudyard Kipling and the Battle of Loos

    THIS IS THE CHAPEL: HERE, MY SON Rudyard Kipling and the Battle of Loos Dedicated to the Memory of Patrick Neafsy of Achadh Mór, Private 6534, 2nd Battalion Irish Guards, killed in action, 27 September 1915 Edward Neafcy, October 2008 After 93 years, my brother David has brought home to Mayo the story of Patrick Neafsy and his short life as a British soldier. He was in the 2nd Irish Guards. The Battle of Loos was fought from the 25 September to the 8 October, 1915. It was the biggest battle in British history up to then. Today if people know of it at all, it is generally because Rudyard Kipling’s son John was lost there. He was an officer in the Irish Guards. Patrick and John Kipling died in the same action. Patrick and John were among 32 Irish Guards who died on 27 September 1915 on a flat Flanders field exposed to German artillery, machine gun and rifle fire. Such was the slaughter that the Germans called it the Leichenfeld (Corpses Field) von Loos. Despite Remembrance Day having been so well observed in my lifetime, I had not been motivated to think too much about the Great War with its apparent senselessness. David’s and my trip to Loos made me wonder about the motivations of lads such as Patrick who responded to Kitchener’s ‘Your Country Needs You’ recruitment campaign, and the motivation of such a man as 1 Kipling deliversRudyard a recrui Kipting ling to support the war. The thoughts of the private soldiers are speech - Southporseldot, mLanc recoashire,rded – particularly as personal diaries were discouraged as they England.

    Captain Andrew Aspden The Private Secretary to the Earl of Wessex, Bagshot Park, Bagshot, Surrey, GU19 5PL 14th April 2021 Dear Earl of Wessex, I was deeply saddened to learn of the death of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and I join with the nation in mourning his loss. I write to express my deepest sympathy to you and The Countess of Wessex. On behalf of the Rayner farming family of Royal Berkshire, the whole family gives thanks for His Royal Highness’ dedicated service to the nation, and commitment to making a difference via so many charitable causes. His Royal Highness’ constant support to her Majesty throughout seven decades of marriage has been a true inspiration. I was extremely privileged that His Royal Highness was able to attend my Mayor’s ball in May 2013 at Guards Polo Club. His Royal Highness made it an incredibly special evening, as he took time to speak to the three school choirs, including the choir from St Mary’s School Ascot, and all our guests. With His Royal Highness The Prince Philip’s help, we raised a lot of money for The Prince Philip Trust Fund that night. His Royal Highness offered great support and wise words while my team was building the Carriage Driving Courses in the grounds of Windsor Castle. We will miss seeing His Royal Highness driving in his carriages and Land Rover around Home Park Private while we are preparing for the Royal Windsor Horse Show. I have many fond memories and encounters to remember His Royal Highness Prince Philip by.

By interrogating the extent to which maps encode certain ideological assumptions, I will assess the problematic issues of Kim’s multi-faceted identity through an exploration of
  • Tales for Children 140

    Tales for Children 140

    Chapter V Tales for Children 140 Chapter V Tales for Children The short stories written in Vermont initiate a phase of Kipling's career in which he can be considered as having become a writer for children. In Something of Myself, he has more to say about the group of children's books than about any other. It is his main point that only in a limited sense ought they to be regarded as children's book at all as they have a lot to offer to the adult readers also. Most mature readers who like Kipling agreed with this opinion and the books are most keenly appreciated by those who read them first in childhood (or listened to them being read) and have then come back to them in later life. This is the road to finding those layers of significance which Kipling, in fact, claimed to have put into them. These stories are categorized under three groups. A) Animal Tales) School Tales 3) Historical Tales. The collections of stories studied under these categories are, I) Animal Tales-r/ze Jungle Books (1894), Just so Stones (1902) II) School Tales-Stalky&Co (1899). III) Historical Tales-PwcA: of the Pook's Hill (1906), Rewards and Fairies (1910) I. Animal Tales Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Books are a blessed province of fancy and imagination where the readers can flee and be at peace. Rudyard Kipling wrote the stories with extraordinary power of imagination and flashes of unforgettable description virtuosity. The Jungle Books consist of a strange world where animals talk.
  • 'The Hun Is at the Gate': Rudyard Kipling's Poetry

    'The Hun Is at the Gate': Rudyard Kipling's Poetry

    “The Hun Is at the Gate”: Rudyard Kipling’s Poetry of the First World War Brian Abel Ragen History, in every sense, is the central subject in Kipling’s mature work. In his early, Indian period, he describes a limited social milieu—and those tales of the flirtations of officers and the sufferings of common soldiers help create the modern short story. As time goes on, however, Kipling comes more and more to see the individual as part of a larger story, one that has been developing through the ages. In the children’s books Puck of Pook’s Hill and Rewards and Fairies, he probes the roots of English culture, with its various strands of Roman, Saxon, and Norman. In many poems and stories intended for adult audiences, he both commented on the events that were shaping the history of his time and used the history of earlier ages as the vehicle through which those events might be understood. Some of Kipling’s most interesting poems are the products of the First World War. Kipling had, like many others, expected a war with Germany, and when the war came, he threw himself into the cause, writing a number of ephemeral works on the Army and Navy as well as some powerful stories. The war became a personal calamity, as well as a public cause, in 1915, when Kipling’s only son John was reported missing during the battle of Loos. The young officer, who was just 18 and going into action for the first time, was probably killed and buried by a shell.
