QR code
"What Outfit, Buddy?" by T. Howard Kelly is a novel written in the early 20th century, shortly after World War I. This work captures the experiences of Private Jimmy McGee as he navigates the challenges of being an American soldier in France during the war. Through McGee's perspective, the book explores the realities of military life, camaraderie among soldiers, and the disillusionment that often comes with war. The opening of the book
introduces us to Jimmy McGee, who is physically unkempt and overwhelmed by his military gear. Wandering through the French countryside, he meets a newcomer, William G. Preston, whom he nicknames 'O. D.' due to his pristine uniform, a stark contrast to McGee's ragged appearance. As they converse about their backgrounds and the war, McGee provides humor and insight into the struggles of army life, showcasing his unique perspective shaped by his experiences at the front. Through this dynamic, the narrative sets the stage for both the comedic and harsh realities of wartime, as McGee seeks to guide the inexperienced O. D. into this new and turbulent world.
