Gunga Din

[Alan H]

I remember that movie, it was great. It was a really fine book, as well. I think I read it my freshman year in high school.

Actually it is based on a poem, Gunga Din by Mr. Kipling (a minor poet). However, just to let you off the hook... I believe it may appear in "Barrack Room Ballads" which is an anthology of Kipling's military poems and, as I recall, his short stories.

Of course, the poem is nothing like the film... not a singe jail break or elephant or Thug... still, for a minor poet, it's not half bad.
