I tried to find it. I thought I had Kipling Compleat. But I see no reference to it in "Departmental Ditties", "Soldiers Three", "Plain Tales", "Under the Deodars", or an anthology of poems and writings. What did I miss?

Dunno! Your list sounds like it ought to include it. I can't recall when I first read this poem- teenager, probably, in the 1960's- but I do recall reading it.

There are a couple of references at the bottom.

Kipling didn't write it. Ted Nugent did.

I found this page which says the poem is contained in:

• Kipling, Rudyard. Rudyard Kipling's Verse: Inclusive Edition, 1885-1918. London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1919.
• Felleman, Hazel, ed. The Best Loved Poems of the American People. Garden City, NY: Garden City Books, 1936.

Also, Google has a pretty good web directory on Kipling
