Title:
Gentlemen Rankers by Rudyard Kipling
Description:
Richard Griffith recites the poem Gentleman Rankers by Rudyard Kipling. A gentleman ranker is a man of class and breeding who choses the life of a common soldier over privileges of class. A mistake, it could be said, as few are able to be happy in both worlds. It must be said the reader has never been a soldier. The picture is my great grandfather, who strangely looks a lot like Mr. Kipling
