[Kate · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ignore the first seven sentences of the book description at the top of the page. They are not about this book. The rest is reasonably accurate.

This is the sequel to Dere Mable and continues the series of letters from Private Bill Smith to his girlfriend (one of them, anyway) back home. They're meant to be humorous, and I found them so. I'd be pitying his commanding officers if this wasn't fiction, but no one could possibly be as obtuse as Bill. I'm now reading book three in the series. If you enjoy malapropisms, you'll probably enjoy this.

Fun read of fictional letters to home from a soldier in the U.S. Army during World War I.
A few deplorable racist terms appear, sadly.
I read the Project Gutenberg e-book version.
