ArchivingInternal Provider: Microform Academic Publishers Main Address: Main Street, East Ardsley, Wakefield West Yorkshire WF3 2AP United Kingdom CRL ReviewCollection Content: This collection provides access to 13,041 pages in 5 volumes of diaries from soldiers during The First World War. According to MAP, "The diaries reveal what life was like for the average British soldier in the Battle of the Somme and later battles of Ypres. The battles of Loos, Arras, Vimy Ridge, and Bethune are also covered. The letters home will have been censored by the army, how much was removed depended on the censor. Tactical information and details of military training often remain as the main concern was morale. Soldiers' diaries are divided by rank. The 'others' diaries are from a chaplain and a civilian in occupied France." The five volumes in this collection are the following: Officers' Diaries, August 1914 - October 1919 Non-commissioned Officers' Diaries, September 1914 - November 1918 Privates' Diaries, August 1914 - February 1919 Others' Diaries, May - September 1916 Prisoners of War's Diaries, August 1914 - January 1919 The content in this collection comes from the Imperial War Museum.
