Cover portrait of Kipling by John Collier; illustration of “A gentleman in kharki” by R. Caton Woodville. First illustrated edition. 4to., single folded sheet, printed on six pages, in triptych form. London, Printed by Eyre & Spottiswoode, 1899.
The poem, printed here in facsimile, was written at the beginning of the Boer War, and the proceeds from sales were devoted by the Daily Mail to the wives and children of the reservists. An excellent copy, despite some foxing on the upper panel.
