Barrack-Room Ballads

Barrack-Room Ballads

The "Barrack-Room Ballads" are a set of martial songs and poems by Rudyard Kipling originally published in two parts: the first set in 1892, the second in 1896. Many have become classic military ditties, still well known, and are closely linked to British imperialism in many minds, particularly "Gunga Din", "Tommy" and "Danny Deever".
