The Khaki Boys at Camp Sterling; Or, Training for the Big Fight in France

“I put it up strong to him then about the poison. Gave him a lot of guff about our being Brothers in the cause, and all that. He didn’t say in so many words that he did it, but he let me understand it just the same. You know the rest. Thank God, I got that bomb away from him. I’m glad I could do something to help the United States and I’m glad, too, on my own account. I’d never have rested easy as long as that poison affair wasn’t cleared up. I feel now as though I couldn’t go over quick enough to help even the score for Simpson and Brady.”

“That’s the way we all feel,” declared Jimmy.

“I would to-morrow go,” declared Ignace.

“Well, I’m ready to hike along the little old Glory Road,” smiled Roger.

“Here, too,” echoed Bob.

“Take the Glory Road to France;Hike along to join the fray.With the Sammies take a chance,’Neath the Stars and Stripes to-day,”

hummed Jimmy.

“That’s us,” approved Bob. “Lead us to it!”

“Going Over” held no dread for the Khaki Boys. They were indeed ready to take their chance beneath the Stars and Stripes in the trenches of far-off France.

When the welcome summons came and what happened to them after leaving Camp Sterling for a longer hike along the Glory Road is told in the second volume of this series entitled, “The Khaki Boys on the Way, or Doing Their Bit on Sea and Land.”
