The autograph war diary, created by Geoffrey Loyd during the First World War and is in two parts. The first part is written partly on loose paper and partly within a field message book

Part II covers the period 27 September to 15 October 1914 and is again split into two sections, the first written on loose paper, with the second within a brown Army correspondence book.
With the book the diary entry includes hand drawn maps and loosely inserted are several ‘messages and signal’ slips

A digitised PDF file of the 1993 transcript saved on a USB memory stick, has also been added here, the digital file been transferred to ECL Digital Image Collection
