14th November 1915 (Sunday)
2pm visit with Cpl Lesage, French Military Auxilliary Hosp. A concert was given. Several French soldiers sang, also Frenchman with very good voice (Tall with jet black beard, works in P.O.), Orchestra (Ahem!), two cellos, one violin and a piano. Arrange to bring mandolin next Sunday and to practice on Saturday at 8pm. Mme Baillet plays piano splendidly, so does her brother the violin. Had some wine at the C. Neuville Circle and met another mandolin player.
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.
