The Red Cross Girls with Pershing to Victory
About This Book
A group of Red Cross volunteers accompanies an American army across post‑armistice Europe, tending to soldiers and civilians while traveling through French villages into Belgium, Luxemburg, and the Rhine region. They discover and shelter a frightened French child who clandestinely joins them, confront logistical and disciplinary dilemmas, and encounter townsfolk whose gratitude mixes with lingering wartime unease. Personal relationships among the women and with military officers are formed and strained, leading to misunderstandings, warnings, and eventual reconciliations. Episodes combine travel and camp life, hospital and social scenes, and reflections on duty, compassion, and the challenges of shifting from combat to occupation work.
