Al- though he treats her roughly she is impressed by his manliness: He falls for her beauty and femininity, and when they arrive in a little French village back of the lines they impetuously get married

But he is soon ordered to the front again. She returns to her ambulance unit. Later he is re ported killed after a stirring bit of action when his Engineers try to construct a pontoon bridge over a river under shell-fire. She is grief stricken by the news and takes up a life of abandon to forget her woes. It is thus he finds her later when badly wounded, he is sent to a convalescent base.
