Reflecting the social mores and mood of the times, Inside the Barracks offers an unusual look at the World War II time period. By today’s standards, this material would certainly not be politically correct. However, during the war, these tales and jokes served to provide some amount of levity to those under stress, particularly with the men in the armed forces.

Inside the Barracks is a small collection found stashed in attics and homes of aging veterans. Originally found at work places throughout the military services, these tales and jokes caused chuckles in industrial plants, on board ships at sea, and in offices and homes.
