A veteran narrator recalls marching with Henry through France in 1918. They face brackish water and coffee, endure shelling lore, and swap stories with a local Oklahoma City woman and her chauffeur husband. A later stop near St Dizier reveals civilian casualties from bombings, while reflections on uniforms and salute rituals color the journey toward American Army HQ.
