Rupert Brooke was an acclaimed English poet known for crafting idealistic war sonnets during the First World War, such as “The Soldier”. His work was praised for its patriotic spirit and moving portrayal of the human toll of war. Brooke’s poetic skill and charming demeanor made him famous, with poet W. B. Yeats calling him “the handsomest young man in England”. Sadly, he passed away from septicaemia following a mosquito bite while on a French hospital ship near Skyros in the Aegean Sea.
