The war diaries are official records kept by the Battalions during a one month period. They contain the daily orders, correspondence, newsletters, and an intelligence log detailing troop activities, locations, and weather conditions. The war diaries detail the activities and movement of the 1st Battalion from training in Canada and England to active duty on the Western Front and their return to Victoria in January 1946. This diary was kept while at Otter Point, Work Point Camp, and Debert Military Camp. It has entries about recruitment numbers, weather conditions, influenza persisting, a football and a basketball game, church parades, entertainment including gymnasts, concerts, and film reels, the men achieving a "smarter" appearance in uniform, a wedding, and a D.O.C. inspection, among other activities and information.
