Description: | Bound ts diary (49pp), presumably a copy, describing his service from June - December 1916 and again from April - July 1917 as a motor ambulance driver with Section Sanitaire Anglaise (SSA) 10, a voluntary British medical unit raised by the French Red Cross to work for the French Army on the Western Front, and referring in particular to their experiences when attached to the French 31st Division on the Verdun Front during the Battle of Verdun (June and August 1916) and then from April - July 1917 and in the Argonne sector (July and September - December 1916). The diary includes a few interesting references to the morale of French soldiers and the hazards of ambulance driving, especially at night-time.
