"Ned, Bob and Jerry on the Firing Line; Or, The Motor Boys Fighting for Uncle Sam" by Clarence Young is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows three young friends, Ned Slade, Bob Baker, and Jerry Hopkins, as they embark on military service during World War I. The novel captures their adventures and challenges at Camp Dixton as they train to fight, encountering various incidents such as spy alarm scares, a loose snake, and the daily rigors of becoming soldiers. At the start of the story, the trio undergoes intensive bayonet practice while expressing eagerness to go to the front lines in France. Their camaraderie is highlighted in humorous exchanges about their training mishaps. As they settle into military life, they learn of a potential spy in their camp and make light of the situation until it reveals a larger concern when they're introduced to a mischievous snake that has escaped. The opening chapters set the stage for not only action and camaraderie but also the impending challenges and wartime experiences that the boys will face as they transition from civilians to soldiers on the firing line.
