Privates' Diaries, August 1914–February 1919
Collection: Life on the Front Line: Diaries, News, and Letters from the First World War, 1914–1919 Volumes Privates' Diaries, August 1914–February 1919
These series of recollections discuss the battles around the Ypres Salient, focusing in particular upon the Battle of Passchendaele. Additionally, they provide perspectives on the Battles of Loos and Arras, and the fighting at Bethune. Several descriptions of the Somme offensive also feature. Certain information contained in this volume is less likely to be found in an Officer's diary. For example, the diaries in this volume record experiences of moving supplies to the battlefront. They likewise supply candid opinions on poor organisation, the conditions of the army, the perceived inequalities of military life, commentary regarding conscientious objectors, and the minutiae of trench life.
