DIVISION WITH 35 ILLUSTRATIONS IN BLACK-AND-WHITE BY G. WILLIAM BRECK ("Bill Breck") 27TH (N.Y.) DIVISION Later Ill tell you all about everything but I guess you won't understand much cause its tecknickle. Lots of the fellos are gettin knitted things and candy and stuff right along. Dont pay no attenshun to that, though, or take it for a hint cause it aint. I just say it as a matter of rekord. Independent if nothin. Thats me all over. Yours till the war ends Bill Bill, a private in the American army during World War I, decides to write letters to his girlfriend Mable to keep as a record of the war. He is still waiting to be shipped overseas, expecting to be sent to France as they are being taught French at the camp. If you download this book from Project Gutenberg, make sure you get the illustrated version, as the drawings are one of the best bits. I liked the way Bill kept teasing Mable about talking to other girls, and guilt-tripping her into sending him food, but then complaining that it arrived squashed. And teasing her for sending knitted fingerless gloves, saying he still had all his fingers thanks! I thought it was funny, especially the jokes and word-play that Bill loved so much, and short enough that it didn't outwear its welcome.

This early work by Edward Streeter was originally published in 1918 and we are now republishing it as part of our WWI Centenary Series. 'Dere Mable: Love Letters of a Rookie' is a cute comic work that takes the form of letters sent to a lover by an American soldier in the First World War. It is illustrated with wonderful cartoon drawings by G. William Breck. Both the author and illustrator were serving with the American Expeditionary Force in France when this was written. This book is part of the World War One Centenary series; creating, collating and reprinting new and old works of poetry, fiction, autobiography and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history. Each publication also includes brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the reader place the work in its historical context. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
