seaJane Posted 26 March , 2017 Share Posted 26 March , 2017 It is. Credit also to Ray who i suspect probably meant AA also. "The Captains and the Kings depart— It may be so, but not lieutenants; Dawn after weary dawn I start The never-ending round of penance; One rock amid the welter stands On which my gaze is fixed intently— An after-life in quiet hands Lived very lazily and gently. When the War is over and we've done the Belgians proud, I'm going to keep a chrysalis and read to it aloud; When the War is over and we've finished up the show, I'm going to plant a lemon-pip and listen to it grow."

neverforget Posted 27 March , 2017 Share Posted 27 March , 2017 I would never have got Seeley, who was better known as Jack or a General, and rarely described as a Colonel (which was an honorary rank) Anyway, one assumes that Kipling is posted as another example as his name is visible.
