Guna Din the Better Man

 

Giving the alarm, Guna Din warns the British of an impending ambush-

Not a soldier, Gunga Din is a water carrier for British soldiers of the Raj.

"So I'll meet 'im later on

At the place where 'e is gone-

Where it;s always double drill and no canteen.

'E'll be squattin' on the coals

Givin' drink to poor damned souls,

Yes, Din! Din! Din!

You Lazarushian-leather Gunga Din!

Though I've belted you and flayed you,

By the livin' Gawd that made you,

You're a better man than I am Gunga Din!"

From Gunga Din by Rudyard Kipling.

Gunga Din is a metal piece I painted this week.
