Who wrote the epic 'The Cremation of Tom Goad'?

Son of The Household Cavalry

The closest I can find to the title in the question is Bruce Springsteen's 'The Ghost of Tom Goad' May 24 02, 6:20 AM

"The Cremation of Sam McGee" is among the most famous of Robert W. Service's poems. It was published in 1907 in The Songs of a Sourdough (The Spell of the Yukon and Other Verses). It concerns the cremation of a prospector who freezes to death in the Yukon Territory of Canada, as told by the man who cremates him. "...The Northern Lights have seen queer sights, But the queerest they ever did see Was the night on the marge of Lake Lebarge I cremated Sam McGee." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cremation_of_Sam_McGee http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5672398 Jan 17 08, 3:21 PM
