About this book

Two young men sign up as recruits in the United States Army, and the story follows them from the recruiting office through the examination and the awkward squad to a posting at Fort Clowdry. Along the way come a corporal who gives trouble, guard duty over a mail train, hazing in the squad room and the puzzle of Post Three.

An anonymous letter and a secret coward enter the plot later, and Captain Cortland leads a pursuit. The first chapter begins with boys arguing about whether a soldier is worth respecting. H. Irving Hancock also wrote the West Point and Annapolis series.
