American Field Service ambulance driver diary, 1915 May 19-June 9.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/50098968

The shiny dark brown paper-covered diary measures 17 x 10 cm., with 26 of its 40 blue-ruled pages filled with entries handwritten in ink. The diary is neither labeled, nor signed, and the entries are dated 19 [May]-9 June 1915. A newspaper clipping is slipped into the diary, dated 1873 by hand in ink, probably from a British newspaper, which contains a poem, "To Loch Skene," on which corrections to the text have been made in ink. The 25 p. paper transcript was made in February 2002 by Aletha Andrew, who processed the collection in the repository.
