In 1914 he was knighted and thereafter his patriotism began to take hold and the following year, 1915, he a published a further book of poetry – ‘War Time’. Never considered an outstanding poet he was none the less much admired. His editorship of Punch was quite remarkable as were several other books of parodies and the such.
