- Résumé : "The Khaki Boys at Camp Sterling" follows the journey of four young men—Jimmy Blaise, Roger Barlow, Bob Dalton, and Ignace Pulinski—as they enlist in the United States Army during World War I. The story begins with Jimmy and Roger meeting by chance at a recruitment rally, both eager to serve their country. They quickly form a bond and decide to enlist together, soon joined by Bob, a former reporter, and Ignace, a Polish immigrant seeking a new life away from his oppressive father. The narrative captures their experiences as they arrive at Camp Sterling, a training camp where they undergo rigorous physical examinations and receive their uniforms. The boys are assigned to Company E, 509th Infantry, and begin their training in earnest. Each character faces the challenges of adaptation: Jimmy's previous experience with a schoolboy drill team gives him an edge, while Roger's work ethic and Bob's quick wit help them adjust. Ignace, however, struggles with the language barrier and the physical demands of military life, becoming a target for the drill sergeant's frustration. Despite these difficulties, the four young men support each other, forming a strong camaraderie that helps them navigate the trials of military training. The story highlights themes of friendship, perseverance, and the transformative power of shared experiences in the face of adversity. As they prepare for the possibility of being sent to the front lines in France, the Khaki Boys embody the spirit of determination and patriotism that defined a generation.
