She also experiences the harsh realities of life at sea, including seasickness, cramped quarters, and the constant threat of danger from German submarines.Upon arriving in France, Hill is faced with a new set of challenges. She must navigate a foreign country and culture, learn a new language, and adapt to a way of life that is vastly different from what she is used to.
