Whitcomb was discharged on February 21, 1919 at Camp Holabird, Maryland. In 1942, Whitcomb registered for a United States World War II Draft Registration Card in Norfolk, Quincy, Massachusetts. When the war ended, one of Whitcomb's hobbies was to continue to write poetry. He once said: One of his first publications were editorials and poems written for the weekly "Holabird Spark" and poems for the "Seattle Town Crier" a weekly paper. On September 22, 1919, Whitcomb wrote his first book of poems. "The Harvard Advocate" wrote the following review about "Eagle Quills": "Whitcomb, who was a member of the class of 1916, has covered a large field in securing his inspiration. The first poems in his book, those that deal almost exclusively with incidents and emotions engendered by the war, show a firmer and more mature handling than do those that follow. While the material of all the poems can hardly be called original, nevertheless it is treated in a manner certainly not trite and for this reason the meagerness of the last few verses is to be regretted." On January 11, 1920, The "Buffalo Courier" wrote: "EAGLE QUILLS is a book of poems by George Faunce Whitcomb, and which comes from the Cornhill company, Boston Mass. Short opems, sonnets and quatrains of varying theme and moods, and possessing a certain charm are offered for the reader's entertainment and show the author to be retrospective and serene in style and expression without stiring any particular depths. The Churchill Company, Boston, Masss." Whitcomb gave a copy of the "Eagle Quills" to his friend Gamaliel Bradford, who placed his personal bookplate inside the book. There is an inscription inside, which says: "To Gamaliel Bradford with sincere appreciation for his unselfish interest in my behalf. George Faunce Whitcomb" In 1925, he gave a copy of the book to Byington Ford and Marion, with the inscription: "To By and Marion – Riders of the Sunday Dawn, George Faunce Whitcomb." In 1922, Whitcomb wrote his second book, "Jewels Of Romance", which was a limited edition of 150 copies. This classic book has been republished by Leopold Classic Library. On January 9, 1924, Mr. Whitcomb was quoted in the "Coronado Eagle and Journal" as saying: It goes on to say, "Mr. Whitcomb has already produced two books of verse entitled, “Eagle Quills,” and “Jewels of Romance.
