About this audiobook

The grit and camaraderie of military life are brought to life in these rhythmic, powerful verses that give voice to the common soldier. From the heat of Indian barracks to the cold realities of the front line, the poems capture the slang, the humor, and the heartbreak of service. This work solidified Kipling’s reputation as the definitive chronicler of the British Empire’s foot soldiers.
