Sergeant Carmichael is _RF
Poet at Heart; So Help Us r
Master Sergeant William E. Car
michael is personnel sergeant maj
or for the post and as such hax
the number (serial and otherwise),
of officers and men in SCIJ No.
1IHI, as well as some outside.
He knows more aliout the average
soldier than the average soldier
knows about him. In fact he hax
been, heretofore, a man of mys
tery, and many a rumour addict
has wondered what dark, military
secrets the canny Carmichael was
pondering a.- he plodded, head
bowed in thought, across the field
from barrack to headquarter*.
Today, however, The Sentry
comes out with a fearless expose
of Carmichael and this is it. The
man is, at heart, a philosopher and
a poet, and when you think he’s
thinking about the next list of pro
motions he isn’t at all. He is figur
ing out the destiny of man and
communing with the infinite.
In short, Carmichael is some
thing special in sergeants. He is
not only literate, he is literary. Hix
novels have been published and he
has another, of 140,000 words, hid
den in his barrack locker or his
desk

have been unable to put
theii hands on it, but it is on the
premixes all right.
Of more immediate interest,
though, is a weighty manuscript
of poetry which Sgt. Carmichael
has written. It is really done to a
musical score, the music being that
of Johann Strauss of the ravishing
“Blue Danube Waltz" and others,
although this is not in waltz time
but manti time and hax a martial
swing The master sergeant, n son
of l.o Angeles and IK months in
the Army in this enlistment, wax
requested to do this job for a USD
show that is expected to tour
camps throughout the country.
The chArux. set to music, is pre
ceded by a spoken prologue, which
quotes » cynic, questioning ’the
worth of any war. and concludes:
