My father, Howard Pritchartt, Jr., volunteered for the army when he was 18 years old. He was in intelligence and reconnaissance in France and Germany. In preparation for his service, he was sent to Amherst, Massachussetts, where he made a name for himself as somewhat of a prankster.
He began drawing cartoons of the officers there and posting them secretly at night when no one was around, raising the ire of those portrayed. I think he was pretty darned good and may have missed his calling as a cartoonist.
