Description
Despite the fact that, as the name implies, they are diverse in nature, most of these stories are affectionate satires with the participation of the social strata into which he belonged and who knew best of all - a class of officers from a public school. The „Honor of the War" was a funny story of „hooliganism" in which Kipling seemed to fully endorse this practice; Regulus removes the lid from the can; while the Marines were a carefully crafted soldier's practical joke involving a horse and some fireworks
