See Here, Private Hargrove
Marion
Hargrove
Army Humor
Marion Hargrove was working happily in the Fourth Estate when news reached him that he
had won a number in a
Washington lottery. That number has yielded one of the richest prizes of recent literary history—See Here, Private Hargrove.
As the delighted reader begins to discover the Army through Hargrove's eyes, and Hargrove
through the Army's, he
realizes that there is, after all, a certain amount of excuse for sergeants.
On his first day in the Army Hargrove says it could have been worse . . . "We
actually saw a corporal and he didn't cuss us. We have eaten Army food twice and, except for the haphazard way the
pineapple was thrown toward
the peas, it wasn't horrifying." Finally, after inoculations, interviews,
outfittings, he was told, "Private Hargrove, the Army is just what you have needed to ease the burdens of your existence. Look no farther, Private Hargrove, you have found a home."
