St. George's book, a collection of columns he originally published in the San Francisco Chronicle while serving with the US Army in Australia in 1942, was a bestseller during the war years, but it is all but forgotten now. I only learned of it while reading another book, A Thousand Letters Home. In that book, another soldier, Aarol "Bud" Irish, wrote home from camp about reading "c/o Postmaster," and enjoying its humor and dead-on accuracy in depicting enlisted army life. And Irish was right. St. George did get it right, and managed to combine the humor and charm of two other popular writers of the time - Bill Mauldin and James Thurber. Mauldin because of the deadpan dogface humor and Thurber because of the simple line-drawing cartoons peppered throughout the narrative. Free Shipping! Thank you for supporting Thomas Charities!
