"Up and at 'em!"???

Posted by Adam frisoli on November 03, 2001

Does anyone know the origin of the phrase
"up and at 'em"? Or more accurately "up and at them". This phrase is used when telling someone to get out of bed. Haven't we all used or heard this one before? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Any help would be hugely appreciated. Thanks.
