Three Cheers for Me

It is 1916. Bartholomew Bandy, fourth-year medical student, decides that it is time to join the War. The prim young Canadian expects that he will have few problems remaining clean and virtuous. But he is aware that his bland, horse-like face drives people crazy, and that he has a certain tendency to be accident-prone. How will the war affect him, and vice versa? The realities of trench war at the front provide a contrasting backdrop for his adventures, as he blunders into contact with all sorts of people, both fictional and historical (the King, Lester Pearson, and Winston Churchill).
AUTHOR: Donald Jack served in the RAF from 1943-1947, before moving to Canada for 35 years; where he won the Leacock Medal for humorous fiction three times. He died in England in 2003.
