Church Parade at an old parish church with the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry and Canadian Contingent at 9:30 am.
Walked to Queen’s Canadian Hospital. Colonel – Astor’s country house 3 miles from Shorncliffe. Saw an English Airship – Cigar shape. It alighted on the Astor Estate
No sleep at night.


*British Airships – The development of British Airship s was far behind that of Germany during WWI. Most airships developed by the British Military were used for observation, often by the navy searching for German U-boats. The British Army preferred development of fixed wing airplanes to that of the airship.
