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 Denton, Seaford, and Sandgate Park, West Sussex, England. It has entries about moving camp to Sandgate Park, entire battalion having to be in tents at Sandgate, a battalion wash-day, troop movements, and participating in various exercises, among other activities and information.
