Captain Lucy in France

A young woman from an army family leaves home to join relief and service work near the Allied front during the Great War. She takes on hospital and support duties, copes with fear for relatives who are fighting or imprisoned, and grows from a sheltered girl into a determined volunteer. Encounters with friends, prisoners, and local civilians draw her into rescue attempts, reconnaissance, and risky plans behind enemy lines; the narrative follows her courage, sacrifices, and the emotional reunions and costs that attend wartime victory.
