Army & Navy: Ike’s Batboy

Britons, accustomed to self-effacing army batmen, are intrigued by Sergeant Michael James (“Mickey”) McKeogh. A onetime bellhop from Manhattan, Mickey is chauffeur, dishwasher, letter writer for Lieut. General Dwight (“Ike”) Eisenhower, who was a colonel only 14 months ago. Last week Mickey was asked how he got his successive promotions to staff sergeant. Said Batboy McKeogh: “Simple. Every time I get the General one he gets one for me.”
