This film appears to have been photographed in France during WWI. There is a medium close shot of Quentin Roosevelt with a small building in background, followed by a brief shot of French and American officers, including Lieutenant Edward V. Rickenbacker at immediate right, talking. There is a view of a troop train moving through a European town as people line the tracks waving to soldiers. The final sequence is medium close panning shots, from left to right, of: John J. Pershing, commander in chief of American forces; Andre Tardieu, French diplomat; Premier Georges Clemenceau of France; Marshal Ferdinand Foch, commander-in-chief of French forces; an unidentified French officer; General Maxime Weygand, staff officer to Foch; and Major General James W. McAndrews, general chief of staff of American forces, posing as they leave a building.
