Dear Peter,
I've found this information via internet but I do not know its original source (Introduction to the book?).
www.patrickkillough.com/books/beresford_kipling.html
"A notable features of Beresford's SCHOOL DAYS WITH KIPLING are seven "Plates" containing beyond two score tiny, tiny (a magnifying glass helps) contemporary pen and ink schoolboy sketches by "M'Turk" of Kipling, his friends and schoolmasters and of some few of the rather tame real adventures and pranks on which Kipling and his imagination had later drawn and built up STALKY & CO. Beresford's book is also enriched by an incisive Preface by Dunsterville/Stalky. These three books taken as an intentional unit of sorts are enormously helpful for recreating the life and budding literary poetic genius of 1907 Nobel Prize winner Joseph Rudyard Kipling."
Hope it helps,
Yan Shapiro
