A scrimmage in a Border Station-
A canter down some dark defile
Two thousand pounds of education
Drops to a ten-rupee jezail.
The Crammer’s boast, the Squadron’s pride,
Shot like a rabbit in a ride!

Every officer and NCO should have been issued a book of Kipling’s poetry with “Arithmetic on the Frontier” and “The Grave of a Hundred Head” HIGHLIGHTED!
