| Summary |
"Don Hale Over There" by W. Crispin Sheppard is a fictional account written in the early 20th century during the backdrop of World War I. This second volume in a series follows the adventures of Don Hale and his companions as they navigate the perils of war-torn France while serving as Red Cross ambulance drivers. The narrative combines themes of bravery, friendship, and intrigue as Don faces not only the challenges of ambulance duty but also unravels a mystery surrounding the Château de Morancourt. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to an eager group of ambulance drivers, including Don Hale, who has just returned from a furlough in Paris. The atmosphere is tense as they joke about the inevitable action that lies ahead amidst the constant sounds of artillery nearby. Tension rises when the group learns about the rumored disappearance of valuable artworks from the Château de Morancourt, which piques Don's curiosity. The opening chapters establish a sense of camaraderie among the drivers and foreshadow thrilling experiences as they navigate their duties and explore the mysterious château, all while bracing for the dangers of war.
