Punkt 1 von 9
Two corporals set out to learn more
The story opens at Fort Clowdry. Corporal Hal Overton asks Lieutenant Pope for two signal flags. No order requires it. He and his bunkmate, Corporal Noll Terry, simply want to become better soldiers.
Sergeant Hupner teaches them to send letters by dropping the flag to left and right. Noll would rather practice telegraphy, but Hal holds that every part of a soldier's work is worth learning.
Small matters, like borrowing a flag the proper way, show how the Army expects men to act. Hal and Noll are young, but they take duty seriously.
