The Grave of the Hundred Head

Found this link through a link on Gateway, that linked to Instapundit, that linked to JerryPournell that linked to this. The whole poem is long, but has an interesting tie to modern times. Enjoy this! Thanks to Mr Kipling for writing it and all the people who linked it for me to find.

The Grave of the Hundred Head: "The Grave of the Hundred Head

by Rudyard Kipling.
#

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."
