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 students of the time, 1914-1918 editions are available on the Web as thousands of individual articles via a Times service called Spiderbites.
