December 24, 1918: War Diary: Christmas Program
Had our Xmas entertainment Christmas eve and had a swell time too. Decorated a large room upstairs and arranged a stage. Max Corrigan & I arranged the program for the evening and it was good. The officers were all there but Lt. Gobel, who is away for equitation school. Capt. Bowen was also present.
