Abstract
Text above is a transcript which I made some 3 years ago from my father's diary - which I have now misplaced but will continue to search for. I think the spelling is an accurate copy of his. Subsequently, I looked at my father's army documents at Kew and found that the reason he was invalided out was not given as 'bleeding piles', but I cannot recall the actual words used. Again, unfortunately, at the moment I cannot access the notes I made at the time but I will try to do so in the near future and add them to this submission if you think it would be of interest. My father was born in 1896 and died in 1936, when I was 3 years old.
