The story

Because travelling behind their own lines would take longer, Schofield and Blake cut across no man's land to reach the abandoned German trenches.

Schofield and Blake save the burned pilot from the wreck and attempt to help him.

A destroyed canal bridge near Écoust-Saint-Mein prevents the British lorries from crossing, and Schofield chooses to part with them.
