What is recorded here
Horatio Kitchener, 1st Earl Kitchener is a birthplace in Ballylongford, County Kerry, Ireland. Perhaps the boy who left this soil for imperial wars first learned distance by watching ships disappear over Kerry water. Maybe his certainty about command and consequence formed in that small town before it became a name on foreign maps.
Why this person is known: Irish officer and colonial administrator in the British Army (1850–1916)
