"The Irish Guards in the Great War by Rudyard Kipling is a two-volume historical account of the Irish Guards' role in World War I. Kipling wrote it as a tribute to the regiment in which his son, John Kipling, served and was killed in action. The book is based on official records, war diaries, and personal accounts, providing a detailed chronicle of the regiment's movements, battles, and experiences on the Western Front.

Volume 1 covers the regiment's activities from its formation to the Battle of Loos in 1915.

Volume 2 continues the story through the rest of the war, including the Somme, Passchendaele, and the final offensives of 1918.

Kipling's work offers a deeply personal and meticulously detailed military history, capturing both strategic decisions and the daily realities of soldiers in the trenches."
