Fine day, had a country walk. Have a lesson in ploughing (!!). Visited Town Hall, saw Capt of Boy Scouts. It was very refreshing to meet this very enthusiastic, energetic young Frenchman who spoke very good English with just the slightest accent and had 150 boys acting as interpreters, messengers, guides etc. and it must prove very useful. Letter to Lena.
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.
