![]() ![]() ![]() A third group of vernacular Army poems from the Boer War, titled "Service Songs" and published in The Five Nations (1903), can be considered part of the Ballads, as can a number of other uncollected pieces.While two volumes of Kipling's poems are clearly labelled as "Barrack-Room Ballads," identifying which poems should be grouped in this way can be complex. Kipling later returned to the theme in a group of poems collected in The Seven Seas under the same title. The first poems were published in the Scots Observer in the first half of 1890, and collected in Barrack-Room Ballads and Other Verses in 1892. The series contains some of Kipling's most well-known work, including the poems "Gunga Din," "Tommy" and "Danny Deever," and helped consolidate his early fame as a poet. The Barrack-Room Ballads is the collective name given to a series of songs and poems by Rudyard Kipling, dealing with the late-Victorian British Army and mostly written in a vernacular dialect. ![]()
