Sergeant Major Henry Bangert of the Royal Army Medical Corps was posted to France as soon as WW1 started and kept a diary for the time that he was there until he was invalided out in Feb 1916. He wrote almost daily, recording his day to day activities, comments from newspapers and his work in field hospitals. He reported on the military acton that was taking place around him.
A severely cold wind blew all day. Kept awake by rheumatism. Continues dry and cold. Broke tooth so visit dentist, Rue Marie Therese. Letters to Emma and Lena. Went to town in the evening and had most painful march back.
