Okie the sergeant who wouldn’t go near the front
A war diary recounts a courier named Okie who avoided front lines, rose to sergeant, but faced mutiny from his men after adopting flashy gear and command airs. He answered to calls, played guitar, sang hillbilly tunes, and was eventually busted back to private after a four day AWOL binge. He now salutes and plays only for new recruits who gather to listen.
