On their way, they met a group of wounded soldiers. Dr. Bethune began to operate on them at once.
Dr. Bethune went on working throughout the night. When someone asked him to have a rest, he just went on working. To him, the most important thing was to save lives.

Or
Dr. Bethune kept working throughout the night.
