American army soldiers and Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) members are greeted upon arrival in England during World War II
Film begins showing American troops crowding the upper open deck of a ship bringing them to a pier in England during World War 2. They are in full battle gear including steel helmets and bed rolls. As the ship moves against the pier, English women begin throwing scones to the men. Closeup of one chewing on a scone. After the ship docks, an army officer and a First officer of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) walk together up a gang plank to the pier. Her cap is the so-called "Hobby Cap" named for Oveta Culp Hobby, the first Commandant of the WAAC, and it bears the insignia of the Rising Eagle (nicknamed the "Walking Buzzard" by WAACs). She wears Captain's rank insignia ( authorized by unit commanders to help in indicating their seniority within the WAAC, although they had no authority over Army personnel). Next, a group of WAAC members in uniform with steel helmets and bedrolls, walks along the pier. An English policeman (Bobby) is seen in the background. A Scottish piper entertains a WAAC member, by playing his bagpipes. Closeup of a WAAC Sergeant with other WAAC members on the pier. One WAAC member tries playing the bagpipes exerting great breaths in the process.
