First edition of this short patriotic speech. Quarto, unpaginated single sheet of stiff white paper folded once. Delivered at the Mansion House on January 27, 1915. In very good condition. Rudyard Kiplingâ s National Bands (1915) is a wartime pamphlet preserving a speech he delivered at Londonâ s Mansion House to support the Daily Telegraphâ s National Bands Fund, an initiative aimed at sustaining military music as a vital component of morale and public ritual during World War I. Issued as a small, separately circulated tractâ "and often later encountered as an insert to fundraising editions of A Song of the Englishâ "the pamphlet exemplifies Kiplingâ s broader mobilization of literary authority in service of patriotic and civic causes.
