The Bandy Papers is a series of novels chronicling the exploits of a World War I fighter ace named Bartholomew Wolfe Bandy. The author, Donald Jack, himself served in the RAF during World War II. Every book in the Bandy Papers series contains the word "me" in the title, as do many of the chapter titles, which can also be interpreted as photo captions. The first novel was Three Cheers for Me (1962), but it was later expanded into three books, the first three below, one of which was then republished in two parts: Three Cheers for Me (1973) That's Me in the Middle (1973) It's Me Again (1975), also published in two volumes (numbered 3 and 4) as It's Me Again and Me Among the Ruins Me Bandy, You Cissie (1979) Me Too (1983) This One's On Me (1987) Me So Far (1989) Hitler vs. Me (1996) Stalin vs. Me (2005) Bandy was born on July 14, 1893. Physically he is described as over 6 feet tall and with a face like a horse. His voice is high pitched and whiney and is said to resemble that of W.C. Fields, whom he once met. This combination seems to drive most people (and many animals) he meets to dislike him and as a result he has developed a "stone face" to counter these attacks (a defence that often backfires by inciting his enemies to greater levels of malice). His talents, although well disguised, are real and he has certainly been an influential (though minor) character in history. Bandy was born and raised in Beamington, in the Ottawa Valley in Ontario, where his father was a minister. It is introduced as "a good town: there was no place to get a drink but there were nine churches." Since Beamington is said to be "twenty miles" from Ottawa, "a town of sunbaked, frost cracked brick, splintering timber, and brown grass" across the river from Quebec, one likely location is Cumberland, Ontario. If the town is to the West, another possibility would be Dunrobin, Ontario. From his published papers, Bandy seems to have had a difficult time fitting in with his schoolmates. There is a reference in Me Bandy, You Cissie that he was an invalid for a time during his childhood. He finished school and was at the University of Toronto Medical School when the First World War broke out. Bandy volunteered
