My Boy Jack (poem) : ウィキペディア英語版 | My Boy Jack (poem) "My Boy Jack" is a 1915 poem by Rudyard Kipling. Although Kipling wrote it after his son John (called Jack) an 18-year-old Lieutenant in the 2nd Battalion, Irish Guards went missing in September 1915 during the Battle of Loos, during World War I, it was published as a prelude to a story in his book ''Sea Warfare'' written about the Battle of Jutland in 1916.〔(''Sea Warfare'', "Destroyers at Jutland", notes on the text by AlastairWilson )〕 The imagery and theme is maritime in nature and as such it is about a generic nautical Jack (or Jack Tar), though emotionally affected by the death of Kipling's son. Cerys Matthews, the Welsh singer and presenter, gave a beautiful rendition of the poem at the Western Front Association's annual service of commemoration at the Cenotaph on 11 November 2015 (search "my boy jack cerys"). ==Text of the poem==
