He had a really interesting life...you know a French soldier was shot in the chest during WW1 and a copy of Kim which he kept in his breast pocket saved his life by stopping the bullet. The soldier gave Kipling the book which still had the bullet in plus a medal the soldier earned. Kipling later gave the book and the medal back to the soldier so he could pass it on to his son.
Kipling's own son was killed on the Western Front
If you go out policing Pete put that copy of Kim in your pocket
