Book Description
Excerpt from Life of Lord Kitchener, Vol. 1 of 3 I would ask the indulgence of the public - who may regret that the story of Lord Kitchener's life should not have been entrusted to a biographer of experience - for shortcomings which may mar this book. My sincere thanks are due to many friends who have lent me letters and excellent advice; and I am under a special debt of gratitude to Major-General Lord Edward Gleichen and Major- General Sir Frederick Maurice for valuable help in describing operations in Egypt and the Sudan and in the Great War. I would also record my thanks for the facilities offered me by Sir Reginald Brade, the Secretary of the War Office, whose own untiring efforts to lighten Lord Kitchener's labours have been matched by an unswerving loyalty to his memory.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Lord Kitchener: Memorial Book The tragedy of Lord Kitchener's death was so sudden, so surrounded by tremendous and dramatic events, that it was impossible at the time to do adequate justice to his memory. This volume has therefore been prepared as a slight memorial to his life and work. It contains tributes from men who write from intimate knowledge of this great man. It contains, further, a complete pictorial record of Lord Kitchener's life, made possible by the generous permissions granted by the various illustrated news papers and by the art publishers and photographers who have with one accord placed their most valuable pictures at our disposal free of any cost. Thanks are also due to Messrs. James Spicer Sons, Ltd., for their helpful gift of paper. It was felt in such a volume no attempt should be made at a formal biography, as so much information which is necessary for such a work is of a confidential nature and could not now be included. That must be left to the future, but I feel sure that readers will be glad to have a complete record of all Lord Kitchener's public utterances since the beginning of the War.

Book Description
Excerpt from How to Help Lord Kitchener The best way to help England is to help Lord Kitchener. The best way to help Lord Kitchener is to give him what he asks for, with the minimum of delay, with the minimum of fuss, and, above all, without taxing his over-burdened time and energy with suggestions of new organizations. Thus then, our duty is very clear. Those of us who are eligible for the New Army must promptly offer ourselves for enlistment. Those of us who are not eligible - men and women, alike - must concentrate upon the task of shepherding those who are eligible into the fold. Let us cease asking how we can help, and' begin actually to help, by speeding up the supply of that which Lord Kitchener needs: Recruits.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lord Kitchener Horatio herbert kitchener was Irish by birth but English by extraction, being born in County Kerry, the son of an English colonel. The fanciful might see in this first and accidental fact the presence of this simple and practical man amid the more mystical western probleins'and dreams which were very distant from his mind, an element which clings to all his career and gives it an unconscious poetry. He had many qualities of the epic hero, and especially this - that he was the last man in the world to be the epic poet. There is something almost provocative to superstition in the way in which he stands at every turn as the symbol of the special trials and the modern transfiguration of England; from this moment when he was born among the peasants of Ireland to the moment when he died upon the sea, seeking at the other end of the world the other great peasant civilisation of Russia. Yet at each of these symbolic moments he is, if not as unconscious as a symbol, then as silent as a symbol he is speechless and supremely significant, like an ensign or a flag. The superficial picturesqueness of his life, at least, lies very much in this - that he was like a hero condemned by late to act an allegory.
