War Diaries at TNA
« on: Sunday 16 November 08 13:07 GMT (UK) »


Heres a list of War Diaries .........

Apparently this has been an ongoing NA project for a while - these are the diaries already digitised - they cost £3.50 per download ( for which you normally get a month's war diary ) but if you're visiting Kew ... they say that when a diary is digitally available -  the original is normally withdrawn from public access !

And if you get to Kew with your digital camera before they are withdrawn, you will be able to copy as much as you like for nothing!
