English Soldier's Bravery Amidst German Attack
A British colonel risks his life to save a wounded French private during a tense engagement. The driver of a motorcycle car carries despatches and an interpreter, hiding in a doorway as German troops attack. The officer orders quiet as the interpreter is evacuated, and the driver recalls fending off a volley to protect the group. They reach a church turned temporary hospital, where children watch as the wounded are aided and the officer insists the act not be mentioned.
