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.

Eight Men Badly Hurt — The Ship Not Damaged.

LONDON, Friday, April 25.— A Berlin dispatch reports that owing to the careless handling of petrol tins in one of the storerooms of the new Hamburg-American liner Imperator an explosion occurred yesterday afternoon. Eight men were severely injured. The ship was not damaged.
