EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment when renowned British author Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) lent his voice to the national cause during World War One. In 1915, Kipling addressed a gathering at the Mansion House in London, advocating for the formation of recruitment bands to boost morale and aid the enlistment process. The esteemed writer, known for his works like "The Jungle Book" and "Kim," was joined by the Lord and Lady Mayoress, as well as renowned musician Sir Frederick Bridge. The trio's presence at the meeting underscored the unity and determination of the British people in their collective effort to support the troops at the front. The power of music, as embodied by Sir Frederick Bridge and his band, was believed to be an effective tool in rallying the public and inspiring young men to enlist. This historical image serves as a poignant reminder of the various ways in which individuals contributed to the Great War effort, both on and off the battlefield.
