Boy Scouts on War Trails in Belgium

The Silver Fox patrol find themselves on a boat, quietly travelling on the Rhine from Mainz. Bumpus' mother is sick in Antwerp, and they are trying to visit her. Of course, an adventure awaits them in Germany, with the advent of the Great War fast approaching, which is happening much faster than the boys could know!

Herbert Carter is one of many pseudonyms used by St George Rathborne. (6 hr 4 min)
