Republished to coincide with the new ITV film My Boy Jack? starring Daniel Radcliffe this is the full account of the tragic life of John Jack Kipling. On 27th September 1915 John Kipling the only son of Britains best loved poet disappeared during the Battle of Loos. The body lay undiscovered for 77 years. Then in a most unusual move the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC)re-marked the grave of an unknown Lieutenant of the Irish Guards as that of John Kipling. There is considerable evidence that Johns grave has been wrongly identified & for the first time in this book the authors name the soldier they believe is buried in Johns grave. This is the first biography of Johns short life analysing the devastating effect it had on his famous fathers work."
