  Thanks for flagging them up, Marie. I just read through the whole lot - really interesting to see how 2/Lt. Robotham tried to disguise a lot of what he was saying in his note from the camp.

  I've been using the #privatediary hashtag. Do we have both now?

  Good catch! Let's stick with #privatediary for now.

  Thank-you Ral for changing the tag to #privatediary for me instead of privateletter.

  No problem, Marie. Although to be honest, I hadn't noticed until @141Dial34 pointed it out! 😄
