Description

Kipling was reported missing, believed killed, in his first battle on the Western Front.

From this time he was constantly in pain from a gastric ulcer.

He published some (censored) articles of war journalism in 1915, collected as The New Army in Training and France at War."It's a pretty park," said the French artillery officer. "We've done a lot for it since the owner left. I hope he'll appreciate it when he comes back."The car traversed a winding drive through woods, between banks embellished with little chalets of a rustic nature.

At first, the chalets stood their full height above ground, suggesting tea-gardens in England.

Further on they sank into the earth till, at the top of the ascent, only their solid brown roofs showed.

Torn branches drooping across the driveway, with here and there a scorched patch of undergrowth, explained the reason of their modesty.
