had penetrated the house of a Civilian & exploded in the Cellar where a Belgian Man & Women & two children were killed outright. Shrapnel was falling about on the Roofs of houses all the afternoon & Evening. After having a light Tea I went to the Tivoli Theatre where a variety show is held every evening the Performers were from a certain Division now quartered there, they are all splendid artists from the London Theatres & had been called up & they do fatigue work behind the Lines & perform in the Evening for the Troops although a charge is made, all proceeds go to the Red Cross funds as their Division moves away other artists from the Releiving Divisions take their place & so on. The charge is reasonable 1 franc for Officers 50 Cents for Warrant Officers, Sergeants & amp; corporals & 25 cents for Privates. The Show starts at 6 Pm & finishes at 8 Pm two good hours of fun. After having a couple of Drinks I caught a Motor Transport & soon was back in Camp.
