Summary "Uncle Sam's Boys as Lieutenants; or, Serving Old Glory as Line Officers" by H. Irving Hancock is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around two young soldiers, Hal Overton and Noll Terry, who transition from enlisted men to second lieutenants in the United States Army. The book captures their anticipation and experiences as they settle into their roles as officers and confront personal and professional challenges that arise during their service. The opening of the book establishes a sense of suspense and eagerness among the characters as they await news from the War Department regarding their commission status. Hal and Noll's conversation with Hal's mother highlights their strong desire to rise through the ranks and serve their country, setting the tone for their journey. As they receive their official appointments, the narrative hints at their imminent challenges, including dealing with conflict in their new roles and the reactions of those around them, such as the antagonistic Bunny Hepburn. This introduction paves the way for a tale of camaraderie, duty, and the complexities of military life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
