World War I Soldier’s Diary

This is an antique notebook I found on eBay. These kinds of diaries seem to have been issued to soldiers during World War I & II, to encourage the recording of memories of the battles fought in, places seen, friendships made, etc. It also includes some handy French phrases.

This notebook is completely blank– I wish I knew what the soldier who owned it experienced over a hundred years ago…

  1. My friend has a pristine “the soldiers dairy and notebook from ww1 it has the owners info but nothing on the war. Just wondering if it is a rare find?

  2. I have seen a few of these on eBay. I think the ones that have the soldier’s own recollections of the war seem to command higher prices.
