Entry #40 April 23rd 1916
(Easter Sunday)- Church service held in wood behind huts; whilst Taubes were flying around. This service help to break the monotony, and my second service since arriving in France, owing to always being on duty anytime there was one. At 12 noon I broke camp along with two others and went into Albert, a distance of about 4 miles from Martinsart. We had a fine walk, and a splendid view of her own and the German lines from top of a hill. This place has suffered heavily, and the inhabitants are still in it. We spent five hours sight seeing and exploring. We were all over the Cathedral and got a few souvenirs; including one of the handles of the Cathedral door. We also bought all of the different views of Albert. Returning by Avelny, and so ended an A1 Easter Sunday, although one is in the Army (1st rifles).
