Summary "The Brighton Boys in the Radio Service" by Lieutenant James R. Driscoll is a historical fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around three young boys from Brighton Academy—Joe Harned, Jerry Macklin, and Slim Goodwin—who enlist in the Signal Corps of the U.S. military during World War I, eager to serve their country. Themes of patriotism, bravery, and the excitement of adventure are prevalent as they face various challenges and confront the dangers posed by enemy spies." "At the start of the novel, the boys, inspired by an idea during a typing exercise, decide to enlist in the military together. Their determination leads them to an enthusiastic telegrapher, Philip Burton, who helps them navigate the enlistment process. As they prepare to enter the Signal Corps, they face challenges such as Slim's initial concerns about his weight disqualifying him from service, which are soon resolved. This opening sets the stage for their adventures and highlights their strong friendship and commitment to patriotism, establishing an engaging and lighthearted yet earnest tone for the unfolding narrative."
