My Bunkie and Other Ballads

It is fitting that the ballads Of the pri-
vate soldier Of the American army should
be sung by one of them, and the voice is
raised by Erwin Clarkson Garrett. son
of a famous cavalry officer. who served
as private in both the infantry and
cavalry during the Philippine insurrec-
tion Of 1Sg9-Igl2- Without detracting from
the work of Mir. Garrett, which is FOR
the most part skillful and fairly inter
pretive OF the life and vicissitudes Of the
private soldier. it must be said at the
outset that this sheaf of verse-or at
least the major part OF it-would never
have been written had it not been for
one Rudyard Kipling. II is not that Mr..
Garrett has sought to perform a service
for the American soldier similar to that
performed by Mr.. KipIng for Tommy"

imitation Of the form and meter and even
the subject of some of Mr.. Kipling's best
known "Barrack-room ballads" Mr..

''The Machine Gun" both Mr. Garrett
ard Mr. Kipling have celebrated, and no

"AoEye done your W0rk-in fact-done it rather
well;

Mr.. Garrett owes 20 the elder singer his

our soldiers. They are unpretentious
as to FORM but most Of them have a
pleasant jingle that make them easy TO
read. and one can well imagine that they
would thus appeal particularly to the

spirit OF this verse may be fairly well
