Don Hale Over There

Don volunteers with the Red Cross as an ambulance driver and records his wartime service behind the lines, confronting bombardments, hazardous convoys, and repeated life-saving rescues amid shattered villages. The narrative alternates intense frontline episodes — observation posts, underground forays, attacks and barrage fire — with moments of unit camaraderie and personal courage. Alongside the ambulance work, Don and his comrades investigate a mystery surrounding an old château, pursue a man-hunt, explore towers and hidden places, and ultimately unearth a discovery that ties danger, treasure, and a local count into a concluding resolution.
