The title's nickname for the woman, "the Salvation Army lassie," points to one of the best-known wartime figures of the American effort in France. Salvation Army women, many of them young and far from home, ran canteens near training camps and front-line areas, where they served coffee and doughnuts to American soldiers. Their cheerful presence made them emblems of home for the doughboys, and the image of a smiling lassie with a tray of doughnuts became a lasting symbol of the period. The phrase "Oh Boy! That's the Girl!" captures the warm, playful reception these women received from the men they served.
