The Library has purchased access to several new collections in the British Online Archives<\/em> series:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

British Officers’ Diaries from World War One<\/a> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These diaries reveal what life was like for the average British soldier in the Battle of the Somme and later battles of Ypres. The battles of Loos, Arras, Vimy Ridge, and Bethune are also covered. The letters home will have been censored by the army: how much was removed depended on the censor. Tactical information and details of military training often remain, as the main concern was morale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
