Soldiers Three
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textMulvaney the Irishman, Ortheris the Cockney and Learoyd the Yorkshireman are three privates in India who drink, fight, steal a dog and tell tall stories, mostly Mulvaney’s. Kipling first published these tales in 1888, in a paper-covered series sold at Indian railway bookstalls. The three turn up again and again in his early work, and readers took to them as to old friends.
