found: Poetry Foundation (website), viewed Oct. 6, 2021:Rupert Brooke 1887-1915 (Few writers have provoked as much excessive praise and scornful condemnation as English poet Rupert Brooke. He entered his father's school at the age of fourteen. He entered Cambridge in 1906. Between his graduation from Cambridge in 1909 and the start of World War I in 1914, Brooke spent most of his time writing and traveling. In May of 1913, he traveled to the United States, where he spent four months before sailing to the South Pacific. Of the seven months that Brooke stayed in the Pacific, three were spent in Tahiti. Despite the apparent happiness that Brooke found in Tahiti, he decided to return to England in the spring of 1914. He joined the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve. In February of 1915, Brooke had been ordered to sail to the Dardanelles--a strait between Europe and Turkey--for the Gallipoli campaign that would begin that spring. During the journey, however, Brooke contracted blood poisoning from an insect bite; he died on April 23 on a ship in the Aegean Sea and was buried in an olive grove on the Greek island of Skyros.) - https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/rupert-brooke found: Wikipedia, viewed Oct. 6, 2021:Rupert Brooke (Rupert Chawner Brooke (3 August 1887 - 23 April 1915) was an English poet known for his idealistic war sonnets written during the First World War, especially The Soldier.
