    I am in Italy now, but Google Maps doesn't seems to know Italy

    No, it's been limited to the Western Front areas and the UK. This is the final page of this diary, so I'd guess the brigade started a new diary afterwards, which will be in the Italian Front record set.

    I've tagged several diaries that either began or ended in Italy. The first one really surprised me because I didn't know British troops had been sent there. I'm not even sure I knew Italy had been involved in the war at all.

    The geolocator doesn't know Ireland, either.

    I thought the Indian Army unit diaries that began in various places in India and included the journey through the Suez Canal to Marseilles and north through France on the train were very interesting, too. But no geolocator there, either.
