Hmm, doubt Lord Kitchener would find the arrangements by steelbands that far removed, nor was it the intent. Kitch had a long-time relationship to pan, did he not? Wonder what Ray Holman must have thought when he composed an arrangement which for a time, changed things around until things changed back around. Even Len "Boogsie" Sharpe got a nice feeling to do something similar, on the advice of Ray, they even had Denyse Plummer sing the calypso for radio airplay to breed some familiarity amongst pan-fans and to make it eligible for Panorama Competition, which they won.
