We are in the prosess of annotating Souvenirs of
France, in which (in the Pocket edition) on page 15 lines 10-15) Kipling refers,
ironically, to a 'charming Frenchman' who had been taken prisoner when fighting
on the Boer side because he 'loathed the English'.
In a later account of his adventures he referred
toi Kipling by 'the one title to which I most objected'.
Can anyone shed any light on his
identity.
We'll be most grateful for
any advice.
All good wishes, John
Radcliffe
