What's This Old Kipling Story?

I just can’t remember the title. It is about a british officer who escapes from a russian prison camp in Afghanistan, and returns to his regiment. After recounting the horrors he has experienced, he dies.
that’s all i recall-anybody know the story?

It’s a short story by Kipling entitled The Man Who Was.

Sorry - you knew it was Kipling.

I didn’t read the thread title, but I have read the story.

Question…Do you like Kipling
ans…I don’t know, I have never Kippled.
I can not resist…sorry.

Oh, really? How about the story “The Man Who Beat Handsomeharry to the Punch, and got Kippled for his Trouble”??? Huh?? Ever read that one, funnyguy???
