"Tom Slade, Motorcycle Dispatch Bearer" by Percy Keese Fitzhugh is a gripping tale set during World War I, following the adventures of Tom Slade, a young and determined dispatch rider. The story begins with Tom, known as "Thatchy" due to his distinctive hair, being sent from the quiet Toul sector to the more active front near Montdidier for special service. As he travels through war-torn France, he encounters various challenges and witnesses the harsh realities of war, including the movement of wounded soldiers and the destruction left by the conflict. Tom's journey takes a dramatic turn when he volunteers to go "over the top" with the American forces in an offensive against the German-held village of Cantigny. Despite the dangers, Tom's courage and resourcefulness shine through as he navigates the battlefield, dragging a telephone wire to ensure communication between the advancing troops and their command. His bravery is highlighted when he narrowly escapes death at the hands of a German sharpshooter, thanks to the intervention of an unseen ally. Throughout the narrative, Tom's character is portrayed as steadfast and reliable, embodying the spirit of a true scout. His interactions with fellow soldiers reveal a camaraderie and mutual respect, even as they josh and tease him. The story captures the essence of wartime experiences, blending action, suspense, and the personal growth of a young man thrust into the chaos of war.
