The Lord Kitchener Memorial Book by Sir Hedley Francis Le Bas Pdf
Horatio Herbert Kitchener was a British Field Marshal, and later Secretary of State for War, famous for his imperial campaigns and his role in the early stages of World War I. The Lord Kitchener Memorial Book is a collection of some of his speeches, reviews of the progress of the war, and tributes from distinguished men who knew Kitchener.
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 newspapers 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. All the profits from the sale of this book will be paid to the Lord Kitchener National Memorial Fund. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XIV Kitchener's delicate duty during the latter months of 1884 was to keep up communication with Gordon, whose rather fretful messages--more than excusable under the strain and sense of desolation--made difficulties a little more difficult. Gordon, for instance, curiously failed to make allowance for the risks and chances to which the messengers and missives were exposed. Thus (September 24) he complains that the only messengers who ever reach him are his own, whom he had sent out from Khartum; that the British officers "seem to grudge the least expense" in giving him information, or else that "they think it of no importance." He wonders that "men like Kitchener" should "not have more brains than to write merely 'I hope you are well, ' " or "ask silly questions" such as Kitchener's to Stewart, "What can I do for you?" 1 He is vexed that Kitchener, l The reference was, of course, to personal necessaries and comforts. Kitchener in after years told his nephew how he managed to send a message to Gordon asking what he wanted--meaning sponge, tooth-brush, and so on. The answer he received was a long tirade against the Government, asking for troops! Eventually Kitchener got a parcel of necessaries through to him, carefully wrapped up in the latest papers. Gordon, missing this fact, threw away the wrapping, complained of getting no news, and looked upon it as a piece of luck when a servant came to him two days later with the papers. "They are like gold," he wrote, and "gave us far more information than any of the letters. Did K. send them by accident or on purpose?"

Haig and Kitchener in Twentieth-Century Britain by Stephen Heathorn Pdf
Lord Kitchener and Lord Haig are two monumental figures of the First World War. Their reputations, both in their lifetimes and after their deaths, have been attacked and defended, scrutinized and contested. They have been depicted in film, print and public memorials in Britain and the wider world, and new biographies of both men appear to this day. The material representations of Haig and Kitchener were shaped, used and manipulated for official and popular ends by a variety of groups at different times during the twentieth century. The purpose of this study is not to discover the real individual, nor to attack or defend their reputations, rather it is an exploration of how both men have been depicted since their deaths and to consider what this tells us about the nature and meaning of First World War commemoration. While Haig's representation was more contested before the Second World War than was Kitchener's, with several constituencies trying to fashion and use Haig's memory - the Government, the British Legion, ex-servicemen themselves, and bereaved families - it was probably less contested, but overwhelmingly more negative, than Kitchener's after the Second World War. The book sheds light on the notion of 'heroic' masculinity - questioning, in particular, the degree to which the image of the common soldier replaced that of the high commander in the popular imagination - and explores how the military heritage in the twentieth century came into collision with the culture of modernity. It also contributes to ongoing debates in British historiography and to the larger debates over the social construction of memory, the problematic relation between what is considered 'heritage' and 'history', and the need for historians to be sensitive and attentive to the interconnections between heritage and history and their contexts.

"Lord Kitchener" by G. K. Chesterton depicts the life of Horatio Herbert Kitchener. Though Irish by birth, he was raised in English culture and was considered to be more of an Englishman himself. As a senior British Army officer and colonial administrator, he traveled the world and documented his adventures. He became a quasi-folk hero in British culture and this book honors his memory and the path life took to get him to greatness.
