Updated: May 17, 2023

This will be the last daily post until Thursday 17th June.

From the 16th May until the 16th June 1915,

the diary is not written in at all.

As there continues to be frequent gaps in the diary,

the remainder of the year will soon be posted in full,

along with all the information we have found out

about the author of this diary.

BUT

if you want to continue to follow along daily,

the diary posts will continue from the

17th June & will be posted on the relevant days

for the remainder of 2023

Stay tuned for the full diary to be posted…

Yesterday was the most peculiar day of

the war. No firing at all. what’s up.

The white flag goes up on both sides for

to enable Red cross to bring in the wounded

One can pop his head over the trenches

safely for first time. The strang-

est sight of all is to see all the

Turks lined up on top of their

trenches walking about as though

no war was on at all. Also our own

some talking with Turks in groups

& smoking together. Turks walk

ing about on top of ridge which

commands view of the whole of

our valley seemed almost uncanny

after our artillery have been

shelling for weeks.
