17th Jan 1915 (Sunday)
Cold, bright day. Had a walk down town this afternoon and evening.
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.

16th Jan 1915
This Convalescent Depot is the best camp I have seen out here. The usual thing is to step out of your tent into 6 to 10 inches of greasy, slippery, wet mud. Here there is no mud but cinder paths and the grass is still green between the tent ropes. This is the grounds of Le Havre Sports Club. Wet and cold. Letter to Lena.
