A WWI Diary That Never Was

WWI Diary was to have brought you the whole of World War I as it was reported in the papers of the day, exactly 100 years later. For a year I blogged news leading up to the big war, thinking if there was any real interest regular readers would trickle in. They did not. Count: zero. So I stopped blogging the war news. For students of the time, 1914-1918 editions are available on the Web as thousands of individual articles via a Times service called Spiderbites.

Attacking Dardanelles.

New York Times 100 years ago today, July 19, 1912:
Strong Cannonade Proceeding — Italians May Be Engaged with Fort.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Friday, July 19.— A strong cannonade is proceeding in the direction of Kum Kaleh, which is at the southern entrance of the Dardanelles.
It is not known whether Italian warships are engaging the fort.
