On the walls of the Memorial Chapel of St. Aubyns Preparatory School in the village of Rottingdean, are photographs representing 100 of the 102 St. Aubyns pupils; 'Old Boys' who never grew old, but died in WWI and WWII.
Rudyard Kipling's son John Kipling, born in Rottingdean on 17th August 1897, is one of the young faces that stare out from those sepia portraits.
John was just 16 when War broke out. He was rejected by the Royal Navy for severe short-sightedness, and initially by the British Army for the same. Rudyard Kipling pulled strings, used his influence, and just turned 17-year-old John was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the 2nd Battalion of the Irish Guards.
The Battle of Loos began on 25th September 1915 following a four-day artillery bombardment in which 250,000 shells were fired. The battle marked the third use of specialist Royal Engineer tunnelling companies, who deployed mines underground to disrupt enemy defence lines through the use of tunnels and the detonation of large amounts of explosives at zero hour, and the very first use of poison gas by Allied Forces. 140 tons were released, much of this causing high numbers of Allied casualties as the wind changed direction blowing the gas back onto the British trenches. Casualty numbers were huge; over 59,000, circa 26,000 deaths. On the 27th September, six weeks after his 18th birthday, John Kipling was last seen stumbling blindly through the mud, screaming in agony after an exploding shell had torn his face apart.
