Dear Tim I don't recognise the quote, but I'll send it round the mailbase to see if anyone else does !

Hello I came across your email address in The Kipling Journal and am writing to ask for your help. I own a 1915 Snaffles print 'DR' (despatch rider) which has at the bottom: 'Remarkable close to the old bus's 'ead to let the stuff go by' Rudyard Kipling with the artist's apologies. I can't link this with any Kipling poem but wonder if you may recognise it. I hope this isn't a chore - any guidance greatly appreciated. Best wishes Tim Syson
