The Battle of Loos, September 1915

If any ask us why we died
Tell them 'Because our fathers lied'.

— Rudyard Kipling

This was the Great War, the War to End Wars, and when it didn't it became known as World War I. The poet of empire sang a different tune after his son John was killed on 27 September 1915. He was one of 20,000 British soldiers lost in that battle.
