Subject: RE: Origins: A Chant of the Cooks (World War I)
I love the internal rhyming, and I agree it is certainly patterned after poems by Kipling and Service (who was also a World War 1 veteran); the poem by the way is not in Service's RHYMES OF A RED CROSS MAN. Nor is it in WAR VERSE edited by Frank Foxcroft.
