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 Monk's Gate Common, England. It has entries about organized sports, a lecture about signal security, many new-comers being attached to the battalion and setting aside time for the commands to get to know the new men as they get more cooperation this way, hosting a large garden party, and participating in various exercises and more concentrated training programs, among other activities and information. Includes appendices covering orders, strength returns (daily & weekly), training syllabi, administrative memos, exercises, an inspection, programme of pipe band selections, and a special increment.
