Poet

Rupert Brooke

Wrote the patriotic sonnets of 1914 that shaped how the war began in the public mind, and died of sepsis from a mosquito bite on the way to Gallipoli.

Rupert Chawner Brooke was an English poet known for his idealistic war sonnets written during the First World War, such as "The Dead" and "The Soldier". He was also known for his boyish good looks, which were said to have prompted the Irish poet W. B. Yeats to describe him as "the handsomest young man in England". He died of septicaemia following a mosquito bite whilst aboard a French hospital ship moored off the island of Skyros in the Aegean Sea.
