Description These diaries span from November 1915 to November 1916. Thus, they document the Battle of the Somme. They also offer detailed narratives of engagements in key locations such as Beaumont Hamel, Flers-Courcelette, the Fricourt sector, Ginchy, Lesbœufs, and Le Transloy Ridges. Furthermore, the diaries focus on the conflicts around the town of Ypres between 1915 and 1917. These sources include vivid accounts from the second and third battles of Ypres and the intense struggle for the Messines Ridge. Additionally, the officer diaries in this volume feature two detailed records of the Battle of Loos (1915) and two compelling accounts of the Battle of Vimy Ridge (1917).
