Uncle Sam’s Boys with Pershing’s Troops

CHAPTER II
10/16

There isn't even a corn.

That's as healthy a doughboy foot as I've seen.

Dress your foot again, and put on your legging---_pronto_." A "doughboy" is an infantry soldier.

"Pronto" is a word the Army has borrowed from the Spanish, and means, "Be quick about it." "I'm not fit to march, sir," cried Sergeant Mock.
"Either you'll be ready by the time B company is here, and you'll march in, or I'll detail a man to remain here with you, and send an ambulance for you.

If I have to send an ambulance I'll have you examined at the hospital, and if I find you've been faking foot trouble then you shall feel the full weight of military law.
I'll give you your own choice.
