Title: Welcome soldier!
Description: If the headlines, uniforms, and drives of today make you feel "It all comes back to me now," read this novel about people just like you knew in 1918 and what has happened to them since. It will give you the thrill of reliving the first great experience of your life in the light of the second. Remember 1918 - the entertainments for the men in camps, the current song hits, the appearance of the rookies, the clothes and manners of the girls, the fashions and manner of the time, the daily life of the community. Back in the days of the First World War, Mary Lou Nelson had served on a committee of Louisville debs to welcome the soldiers to camp. She had fallen in love with a young soldier and, when he left for the war, had romanticized what was to him a casual acquaintance into a definite engagement. When the soldier turns up as a Colonel with a grown son in the present war, Mary Lou is faced with an almost impossible task of explanation. -- from inner flap of dust jacket.
