War Diaries Talk

How should this be tagged :-)

  • stoat11 by stoat11

    Hi,
    I have been tagging a number of pages like this in the Diary as a "Diary page" but now I'm wondering if that's right. They're not proper Diary pages are they? If they shouldn't be, then how should they be tagged?

    Cheers,
    Mike

    You've been tagging these correctly. This is a diary page, even though it isn't written on the official form. It looks like it's a diary for one battery of the 28th Brigade RFA.

    Early in the war and also in cases like this where the diary is of a sub-unit you'll sometimes see the official diaries kept on whatever paper was at hand. Many units did not have the official form until early 1915.

    It is a diary page for the 123rd Battery of the 28 Brigade Royal Field Artillery.
