Rupert Brooke
Died in 1915
Rupert Brooke was born in 1887 at Rugby, the son of a master at the school where he was brought up. He went to Cambridge, where his beauty was noticed as much as his verse, published in the anthologies of his generation, went through a depression after romantic disappointments, and travelled in America and the Pacific. He enlisted in 1914, saw no fighting beyond the retreat from Antwerp, and died in April 1915 of an infection caused by an insect bite, on a French hospital ship off a Greek island.
