31st Jan 1915 (Sunday)
Bright, cold, snowy, windy and wet.
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.

25th Jan 1915
In the air the Germans win. Thanks to the wireless from Berlin. "The night reddened by a burning town, fugitives huddled together and sobbing on the outskirts, destitute and hopeless, watching the homes where they lived contented and in their own humble way, prosperous, being destroyed with everything they possess."
