13th June 1915 (Sunday)
Visited French reforms church with Mme. Blampean, Leontine and Marcel. The service was, as far as I could follow, somewhat on the same lines as the C of E. The hymn tunes were similar and I could join in the singing. We visited the Colonne in the afternoon. It was very pleasant under the shady avenues. Strained my leg running after Leontine. Visited farmer's in the evening. A visitor to the latter at 4 pm reported seeing us at the Colonne.
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.
