3rd October 1915  (Sunday)

French aviator descended in field at 1.40 pm.  The French soldiers had some trouble with the crowd.  I had the parade before 2 pm to clear our men out of the way.
Visit Musee Rue de Perths in afternoon.  Saw some fine old carving (Italian) and old French cupboards, bureaux, china, prehistoric stone implements and paintings.
Had an enjoyable tune-up with Cpl Lesage (Petit Corporal), Professor (teacher) of music from Arras, home demobilised.

23rd September 1915

Visited by two German aeroplanes who dropped 6 bombs in fields around the hospital.  Splinters flew long distances and, besides cut ropes and poles, 17 holes were found in the tent canvas. I collected several splinters.  Several men and Cpt Bartlett had lucky escapes.  One bomb fell near each goal post in our football field.
A French aviator descended in field next to No.9 Post.
