War Diaries Talk

Tag for "Visiting"

  • smariner by smariner

    What tag should we use when the diary reports "visiting" a place, person, or other unit?
    I was thinking "Unit Activity" --> "Other", since visiting doesn't seem to warrant "Unit Movement"

    Which tag is most appropriate for and entry about "visiting" another group or person?

    "Visited 17 Bde", "Visited Canadian D--- in the morning", etc.

    So far I have been using "Unit Activity"-->"Other", since it is not the whole unit that is moving.

    I think I would probably focus on the object of the visit, rather than the visit itself 😃

    So, for a place, I would use a place tag, but untick the 'is the unit currently here' box. For a person, I would use a person tag and choose an option from the 'reason' list (it might be that 'other' is most appropriate here if detail is scarce. And for another unit, I would use the 'Other unit' tag.

    Hope that helps!

    Let me know if anything's still unclear. 😃
