Army Boys on German Soil

The Army Boys #6

by Homer Randall

I tell you, Bart, I don't like the looks of things, remarked Frank Sheldon to his chum, Bart Raymond, as the two stood on a corner in the German city of Coblenz on the Rhine. "What's on your mind?" inquired Bart, as he drew the collar of his raincoat more snugly around his neck and turned his back to the sleet-laden wind that was fairly blowing a gale. "I don't see anything to get stirred up about except this abominable weather. It's all I can do to keep my feet." "It is a pretty tough night to be out on patrol duty," agreed Frank. "But it wasn't that I was thinking about. It's the way these Huns have been acting lately." "Are you thinking of that sergeant of ours that was found stabbed to death the other night?" asked Bart, with quickened interest. "Not so much that," replied Frank, "although that's one of the things that shows the way the wind is blowing. But it's the surly way the whole population is acting. Haven't you noticed it?"

Reviews

[Jennifer Booth]

A good little story for anyone

This book was nice, but it did have a little bit of real life warning about war. It was different.

[Rob Roy]

This is the last book in the Army Boys series written just as World War I closed. It is remarkable for its hatred of Germany and everything German. The hatreds generated by the war were still in full effect. The result is of course that the brave US boys win over the cowardly Germans at every turn in the novel. This is best read as a window on the thinking of the time, rather than a stirring story of our brave doughboys.
