The connection of the Hymn of Breaking Strain with the initiation ritual of
Canadian Enmgineers (edntred on McGill University) and "Cold Iron" has been
explored in the Journal. The Journal index gives entries for July 1953 and
Apr 1946 (I don't go back that far) and my letter of March 1994 is indexed
asking about the ritual.
There were two replies and as these are not indexed it may be helpful to
say that they were carried in the subsequent June and September issues.
Like others, I think this only shows the long and varied consideration
Kipling gave to man and machine.
