A poll taken by the BBC in the UK in 2005 voted it as Britain's favourite Poem poling twice as many votes as the number 2 choice Lord Tennyson's The Lady of Shallot. Originally written in 1895 IF was inspired by the actions of Dr. Leander Starr Jameson a British Officer whose forces were defeated by the Boers in 1895 but who was portrayed as a victorious hero by the British press the poem is a powerful masterclass in maintaining the British stiff upper lip. ---- David Alan Richards.
