Preview Herbie and Friends: Cartoons In Wartime

HERBIE AND FRIENDS For the thousands of Herbie's and their pals this book has come to fruition. All of you who were there remember them ... the little guys who had scant to say about how the war was run but who had a great deal to say about the outcome. This book is designed to be a reminder of the funny things that happen in wartime - those happenings that old soldiers remember when the hardships and dangers have faded.

ROWLAND HERBE AND FRIENDS CARTOONS IN WARTIME This page intentionally left blank TO MAUREEN, JACK, MEGHAN AND ALLYSON This page intentionally left blank As someone whose spirits were so often lifted by Herbie and his irreverent friends, I take great pleasure in renewing acquaintanceship with some of the most memorable characters ever to wear a Canadian uniform. You needed a sense of humour to set through the rough days of war. The cartoons in this publication were as good for morale as letters from home. Welcome back Herbie and Friends. You haven't aged a bit! With kindest regards. George Hees Herbie and Friends Published by Natural Heritage/Natural History Inc. P.O.
