Rudyard Kipling: The Grave of the Hundred Head

Kipling:

The Grave of the Hundred Head: There's a widow in sleepy Chester/Who weeps for her only son;


There's a grave on the Pabeng River,/A grave that the Burmans shun,


And there's Subadar Prag Tewarri/Who tells how the work was done.

A Snider squibbed in the jungle,/Somebody laughed and fled,


And the men of the First Shikaris/Picked up their Subaltern dead,


With a big blue mark in his forehead/And the back blown out of his head.

Subadar Prag...
