About the book

Rudyard Kipling's Barrack-Room Ballads presents poems spoken largely in the voices of ordinary British soldiers serving throughout the Empire. The collection captures the humour, hardship, loyalty and frustrations of military life in vivid vernacular language. Kipling writes about marching, battle, discipline and comradeship without idealising the experiences of the men involved, producing some of the most memorable military verse in English literature.
