A just and lively account of the Second World War as it was experienced by someone who enlisted in the Missouri State Guard at the age of sixteen and entered the Army of the United States before he graduated from high school. He did basic training in Texas, was briefly an engineering student in Philadelphia, and an air cadet in Miami Beach. Transferred to North Carolina, he learned to be a mortar gunner. He was sent overseas to France, campaigned in the Vosges Mountains, where he was wounded. He recovered from his wound in the army hospitals of France and England, returned to his unit, joined the Army of Occupation in Germany, became a script writer for the Armed Forces Radio Network in Bremen, and returned to the United States as a crewman on an elderly freighter sailing from Bremen to Philadelphia.

I am one of the million or more male residents of the United Kingdom, who a year ago had no special yearning towards military life, but who joined the army after war was declared. At Chelsea I found myself a unit of the 2nd London Irish Battalion, afterwards I was drilled into shape at the White City and training was concluded at St. Albans, where I was drafted into the 1st Battalion. In my spare time I wrote several articles dealing with the life of the soldier from the stage of raw rooky to that of finished fighter. These I now publish in book form, and trust that they may interest men who have joined the colours or who intend to take up the profession of arms and become members of the great brotherhood of fighters.

Book Excerpt: and never less. But a few days ago, when weighing sugar and tea, a blast of wind upset the scales, and a second allowance met with a similar fate. Sugar and tea littered the pavement, and finally the woman supplied her soldiers from the household stores. She now leaves the work of distribution in the hands of the ration party, and takes what is given to her without grumbling. The soldiers' last meal is generally served out about five o'clock in the afternoon, sometimes earlier; and a stretch of fourteen hours intervenes between then and breakfast. About nine o'clock in the evening those who cannot afford to pay for extras feel their waist-belts slacken, and go supperless to bed. And tea is not a very substantial meal; the rations served out for the day have decreased in bulk, bread has wasted to microscopic proportions, and the cheese has diminished sadly in size.
