“Same Old Bill, Eh Mable!‪”‬

Bill reaches France expecting a glimpse of Paris; instead, he’s put to work unloading five million cases of corn. So much for the rest camp.

In his letters to Mable, American soldier Bill reports from a France of muddy fields, baffling trains and French phrases that never quite mean what he thinks. His battery is marched, billeted in a hay barn, sent to school and kept guessing about where it’s going next; all the while, captains and quartermasters provide fresh material for his dry, practical commentary. The jokes come easily, but the war is never far off—and Bill’s letters have to pass the censor before they reach home. What will France put him through next?
