A humorous note from "The Gunfire" mocks a wartime order requiring non commissioned officers to wear chevrons only on the right sleeve. It describes a sergeant who walks sideways like a crab and keeps his right side toward passing women on Broadway, trying to display the chevroned side.
A lengthy roll lists United Church personnel including Col. S. W. Roesster Lieut. Col. Chauncey L. Fenton Com. Col. Clarence Abele Maj. George W. Hawley Capt. Leroy E. Briggs Capt. Philip Bronson Capt. Lawrence M. Corwall and many others with ranks from lieutenant to sergeant. The piece then slips into a wartime wedding scene and ends with a racially charged drill gag from a Judge column.
