Thread Name: Lyr Add: War poetry
Subject: RE: BS: GAS! GAS!
Thanks Willa. I often sing Soldier Soldier, Road To Mandalay and Screw Guns, and sometimes Gunga Din. I thought the charge of jingoism was being made against the war poets, but it got a bit confused for a while back there. Kippling is not really known for his Great War poems but he wrote some good ones about naval patrolling.
Ow's yer soul?
Keith.
