The Khaki Boys Series WWI Era

The Khaki Boys Series WWI Era. By Capt. Gordon Bates. This World War I series was published by Cupples & Leon in 1918-20. While authorship of the series is generally attributed to Josephine Chase, the last three books were written by Howard Garis from Stratemeyer outlines, according to James Keeline . The series follows the adventures of four American boys -- wealthy Jimmy Blaise, who defers enrollment at Harvard to enlist; orphaned factory worker Roger Barlow; cub reporter Bob Dalton; and Polish laborer Ingace Pulinski -- from training camp through the end of the war.
