Dear Glenda, I regret to say I cannot tell you the composers off hand. I am
copying your enquiry to a collection of Kipling enthusiasts in the hope you
will get a more satisfactory answer than I give below:
1. Route Marching. This is likely to be Boots (Infantry Columns) collected
in The Five Nations as sung by Peter Dawson. This song is part of a reissue
CD of Dawson's work which includes Rolling Down to Rio set by Edward German
(who set all of the Just So Song Book and some five others verses, but not
those you refer to). This CD is in the UK publishers lists under Peter
Dawson.
2. On the Road-or more properly just Mandalay. (Barrack Room Ballads) Here
the trouble is that I believe there are some twenty composers who have
tried this!.
If I can turn up further information, I will let you know but I rather
think my colleagues will beat me to it.
If your local University Library has a set of the Readers Guide to Rudyard
Kipling (some 12 volumes I think) this may cover the points.
Best wishes Jeffery Lewins
