The Navy Blues

This humorous series on the American Civil War centres around who cavalrymen in the Unionist Army: Cornelius Chesterfiled, a zealous and devoted sergeant and Corporal Blutch, a relectant soldier, highly critical of authority and who always tries to eschew yet another senseless battle. This highly comical duo does what it can to escape the often obtuse military mindset, absurd orders and the madness of war. In this volume, the Sergeant obeys the captain for the frist time and ends up in the Marines.
