A Note About War Diaries

I will make every attempt to render a correct record of the war diaries but there are some limitations.

1. Not all the pages of the war diary are reproduced such as the cover page and the page listing appendices after the diary title page.
2. An effort to maintain the same formatting of words will be followed.
3. The war diaries in typed format are generally easy to replicate but please note that with the sheer mass of material I will be transcribing spelling errors of place names and people are bound to occur. Any errors are accidental and I encourage readers to comment about such errors and I will correct them.
4. The war diaries in hand-written form are more problematic. In some cases the writing is hard to interpret or illegible but I will make every effort the interpret the entries and indicate in block brackets [ ] the areas where such interpretation is occurring.
5. An attempt to maintain a consistent format will be important but changes and modifications to such formatting may occur from time to time.
6. I will endeavour to link to the original source material were possible.
7. Appendices and other material will be included in the same post were possible. In some cases below the appropriate diary entry but sometimes at the end of the post.
8. Since I am transcribing someone else’s unedited work the errors in the work will be replicated. An effort will be made to reference current place-name usage for current reference purposes.
9. My spelling is Canadian English based so favor really is spelled favour.
