Barrack Room Ballads
by Rudyard Kipling
"Ballads of the Barracks Room" is a series of fight songs and poems by Rudyard Kipling, originally published in two parts: the first in 1892, the second in 1896. Many of them still became well-known classic military boys and were closely associated with British imperialism in many minds, including Gung Dean, Tommy and Danny Diver.
