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.
Pay, amount due about £11.0.0. Very cold, sent letter to Lena. Received Daily Mirror from Lena, letter from Arthur. Evening raining. Had a chat with some wounded French (one shot through throat) and an Algerian (arm).
