| Summary | "The Boy Scouts Afoot in France; or, With the Red Cross Corps at the Marne" by Herbert Carter is a fictional adventure novel written in the early 20th century. This book follows a group of American Boy Scouts who find themselves in Europe during World War I, specifically focusing on four central characters: Thad Brewster, Allan Hollister, Bumpus Hawtree, and Giraffe Stedman. They embark on a journey filled with danger and excitement as they navigate through war-torn Belgium and France, driven by a desire to reunite with Bumpus's mother and witness the unfolding events of the war. At the start of the story, the boys land in Antwerp after a long journey, excited yet anxious about their mission. Their initial plans are turned upside down when Bumpus discovers his mother has moved to Paris for medical treatment. As they confront the realities of war, including the urgency to travel through areas occupied by German forces, they encounter numerous challenges and thrilling incidents, including a train station filled with soldiers and chaotic scenes in a city preparing for battle. The boys' camaraderie and determination to help Bumpus while navigating the dangers of their environment set the stage for a story filled with both adventure and the stark realities of wartime challenges.
