In one days time – on Saturday 2nd August – we will start blogging Margaret Clare Kelly’s War Journal.

A brief explanation is in order, so this journal can remain as honest as possible! Margaret did not buy the physical book in which she wrote her thoughts until roughly a week after the war began – it then being obvious that she would want to record her observations for posterity. She then transcribed her words in to the new tome, and we are able to read them 100 years on.

If you have any questions or comments related to the historical aspect or Margaret’s family life referred to in the journal entries, please ask in the comments. More general questions can be sent to margaret@whitesourcedesign.com/kelly-house

We’re nearly there.
