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.

Spanish Broadside Kills Moors.

New York Times 100 years ago today, June 15, 1913:
ALHUCEMAS, Morocco, June 14.— Great numbers of Moors boarded the Spanish gunboat Gen. Concha after the crew had been taken off when she went ashore on Thursday, and they were pillaging the vessel when the Spanish cruiser Reina Regente came up and fired her entire broadside among them, killing nineteen and wounding many others.
