1942 Personal Diary

[AndyD]

I thought some of you may like to see this diary from 1942.

I don't know who kept it as there is no name in the front.
The entries begin on the 1st January and end on 12th October.

There are lots of newspaper cut outs pasted into the diary showing events in the war on that day.

Cheers,
Andy

From the entries in the diary it would seem that the man writing it worked in the building design trade in some capacity,as plans for buildings are mentioned frequently.

It also mentions doing firewatching and photography seems to have been his hobby.

I'm presuming that the diary ends suddenly as he was called up,but I'll never know!

Cheers,
Andy
