About This Book

A sequence of illustrated letters by a member of a truck transport reserve during the final weeks of the war, combining cartoons and short reminiscences. The pieces record camp routines, convoy work, billeting in French villages, rumor and anticipation of armistice, improvisation to obtain supplies, and an outbreak of influenza, all narrated with a light, observant tone. Episodes mingle frontline impressions, travel and sightseeing, and everyday duties such as mess and clerical work, producing an episodic portrait of logistical service, camaraderie, and the uneasy blend of tedium, danger, and occasional comic relief that marked demobilization.
