In 1915, during the second year of the Great War, Kipling made a tour as a journalist to the front of some of the French armed forces. His report of what he had seen of the military activity was published in six articles in The Daily Telegraph, in England, and in the New York Sun. They were collected in booklets in both countries, with some small textual variations. The articles include: On the Frontier of Civilisation; A Nations Spirit; Battle Spectacle and a Review; The Land that Endures; Trenches on a Mountain side; The Common Task.
