19th April 1915
Convoys continue to arrive until 4 am. 77 wounded from around Ypres. Concert held in store tent around 6 pm. Mr Howard greatly amused us with humorous recital. Miss Armstrong extra special on the violin. Our men sung fairly well, especially Pte Wilson and Pte Davy. I played the mandolin with Pte Duffield on the flute, "Alice where sat thou?" and 'Marguerite". Taking it all round the concert was very successful. Convoy 61
