Kilroy, Home from the War is a true story about an ex-U. S. Navy sailor returning to a small town in Oklahoma at the end of World War II. After three years out of circulation, most of it aboard a wooden subchaser participating in island invasions, Wesley Hall returned to a small town in Oklahoma to find that almost everything he could think of was free for the asking. He had gone overseas at the age of seventeen, having never dated a girl or driven an automobile; and suddenly he was home a war hero at the age of twenty. The home folks were so grateful to returning veterans he found it extremely difficult to pay for anything, and to go someplace all he had to do was stick out his thumb. However, picking up where he had left off was complicated by the fact that he couldn't remember much about what it was like to be a civilian. He still had no bad habits, such as drinking and smoking, and he was paralyzed at the thought of asking a girl for a date. That all changed quickly after he bought a '35 Ford sedan and named it Kilroy.
