1942 Times Mag. (N.Y.) 8 Nov. 13/4 Borrowing an idea from China, Carlson frequently has what he calls ‘kung-hou’ meetings... Problems are threshed out and orders explained.

1943 Life 20 Sept. 58 I [sc. E. Carlson] told them of the motto of the Chinese Co-operatives, Gung Ho. It means Work Together... My motto caught on and they began to call themselves the Gung Ho Battalion.

1959 She May 21/3 All would be gung ho (in favour) of declaring him a fungus (musty character).

1967 R. M. Stern Kessler Legacy (1968) xvi. 143 In those days he was very gung ho for National Socialism and the pan-Germanic grandeur it was going to produce.

1968 M. Lockwood Accessory (1969) ii. 59 I've always thought of you as being—I don't know, full steam ahead about life. Not gung-ho exactly, but—well always ready to manage and organize things.

1969 I. Kemp Brit. G.I. in Vietnam iii. 49 He..was one of the most ‘gung-ho’ (exceptionally keen to be personally involved in combat) characters I ever met.

1970 Times 28 May 7/5 Today's grunts are noticeably different from those who filled the enthusiastic ‘Gung-ho’ units of a few years back.
