Can anyone please enlighten me as to who was responsible for the notes that
appear in the text of various editions of Kipling's poems? I'm referring
to the ones which appear at the bottom of certain pages e.g. in the
Barrack-Room Ballads explaining Hindustani phrases. I would imagine they
were suggested by Methuen and sanctioned by Kipling, but I don't recall
reading any correspondence about this. Thanks
