There is also a lecture delivered to the Kipling Society on 16th October 1946 The Story of "H.M.S. Kipling" N. B. Robinson Contributor Kipling Society Publisher Kipling Society, 1946 Length 15 pages http://www.kiplingsociety.co.uk/facts_HMSlecture.htm Yan S. D> There is a publication written by Commander Aubrey St Clair Ford in his private papers - details of which can be found here D> http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/1030002071 D> D> From: Alastair Wilson <[log in to unmask]> D> To: [log in to unmask] D> Sent: Sunday, 9 July 2017, 22:27 D> Subject: HMS KIPLING D> D> We have been asked by a correspondent, who is trying to wrote/compile a book about the life and times of HMS Kipling if we know of the existence of a book about the ship by her first captain, Commander Aubrey St. Clair Ford. We do not have a copy of such a book in the Society Library at Haileybury, nor has a (rather cursory) search on line, thrown up anything about the ship by St. Clair Ford, which suggests - no more - that the book was never written or. if written, was never published. Does anyone on the mailbase know any better, please? Kipling was launched by Kipling's daughter in January 1939, and sunk in the Mediterranean in 1942. There is some material about her in various issues of the Kipling Journal. Any help will be gratefully acknowledged Alastair Wilson. D> D>
