Daniel Radcliffe, a star of Harry Potter series, plays the role of John “Jack” Kipling in the television drama ‘My Boy Jack’.
His role went missing in action during the Battle of Loos and his mother and father carried out an ardent search for him, spanning many years and many miles of soul-destroying discovery.
The setting is World War I, a true story folds on how Rudyard Kipling used his influence to get his 17-year-old son Jack a commission with the Irish Guards, despite his son’s poor eyesight.
The television movie will air later this year on in the UK and US.
