Summary: "That's me all over, Mable" by Edward Streeter is a humorous novel written in the early 20th century, specifically during the aftermath of World War I. The book presents a series of letters from a soldier, Bill Smith, to his beloved Mable, detailing his experiences and misadventures while serving in the army. The tone is light-hearted and comedic, capturing the quirks of military life and the camaraderie among soldiers. In the narrative, Bill shares his antics, complaints, and observations about army life, ranging from the absurdities of artillery training to the eccentric characters he encounters. As he writes to Mable, he discusses everything from the challenges of military drills to his humorous interpretations of drill sergeants and fellow soldiers. His letters not only convey a sense of longing for home but also serve as a comedic reflection on the experiences that many faced during the war. Through wit and clever storytelling, Streeter paints a vivid picture of military life, contrasting it with Timble's expectations and the reality he's living, ultimately creating an engaging and entertaining read.
