1915 RUDYARD KIPLING TYPED SIGNED LETTER

Item Details

Description

KIPLING, Rudyard, (English, 1865-1936): Typed signed correspondence letter dated 1915 with content related to World War One. Reads '' Private. Dear Sir, Mr. Fletcher has sent me your letter of the 24th with typed enclosures which I return herewith. It would indeed be a most useful thing if such a document as you suggest were published, but, assuming such a document to be truthful (and the time has now come to tell the truth). The Department of Education would not allow it to be published. We are at war because we, as a nation, took no measures to preserve peace by adequate preparation; because we did all that lay in our power to discredit and deride those who recommended and such preparation; because we lied to ourselves and to each other; because we cloaked our own extreme sloth and inadequacy under a pretence of extreme virtue. The educational value of the war is that we should understand not what our enemy has done but we, ourselves m have neglected to do. Yours faithfully, Rudyard Kipling''.
