Encyclopedia : F : FR : FRO : From Here to Eternity (novel)

From Here to Eternity is a novel by James Jones. It is loosely based on Jones' experiences in the 19th Infantry Regiment, Company E ("The Boxing Company"). Fellow company member Hal Gould said that while the novel was based on the company, including some real people, the characters are changed, the harsh conditions and the events are fictional.

The title was inspired by a line from the Whiffenpoof Song of Yale drinking fame.

It was made into a film in 1953.
