A Soldier's Diary from the Western Front
Title in English
The diary of an anonymous soldier
This diary was found in a charity shop in North Yorkshire in c 1994. It lists the movements of the 10 KRRC (10th Battalion, King's Royal Rifle Corps) from 19 September 1914 to 3 August 1915 with a journal, possibly written in retrospect, from 18 April 1915 to 9 May 1915. (There is also a type-written note in the front dated 30 November 1917). The writer anglicises place names, 'Frelingham' and 'Armentierres'. The note book has also been used as a music theory exercise book. There are no clues as to the writer's name or home.
