"The future of our whole nation and mankind itself depends upon our unqualified victory. There can't be too many parades, and bands, and rousing marching songs like "Over There" - and yes, good belly laughs - to make the load a little lighter as we face the tasks at hand!" says Bennett Cerf. Because he feels the only trouble with our present-day humor is that there isn't enough of it, he has scoured magazines, newspapers, radio scripts and other media, to say nothing of sending out letters to "the people all over the country." Here is the result - old jokes and new jokes; selections from "See Here, Private Hargrove" by Marion Hargrove, "Private Purkey in Love and War" by H. I. Phillips, "The Army Life" by E. J. Kahn, "Dere Mable" by Edward Streeter, "The Stars and Stripes," a glossary of army slang; twenty-five of the funniest war cartoons; and other articles - all guaranteed for fun!
