It's a poem from "Infantry Columns" - "Boots" by Rudyard Kipling. The poem is about the endless
marching done in Africa. The soldier would march for weeks with no one to fight, but because the
war was still on, the couldn't take leave ("There's no discharge from the war".) The endless
marching with nothing to do but stare at the boots in front of you is maddening.
As he says in the poem, hunger, thirst, weariness can all be coped with, but the endless marching
with no known destination or battle to be fought is worse than all of them, including being shot
at. Somewhere there is audio of Kipling himself reading this poem. In his short preface, he talks
about how few people can understand the stresses on an infantrymen during a long forced march.
