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.

15 Russian Soldiers To Die.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 23, 1912:
And 206 Are Sent to Prison for a Mutiny at Tashkent.
TASHKENT, Asiatic Russia, Aug. 22.— Two-hundred and twenty-eight Russian non-commissioned officers and soldiers were tried by court-martial in the sappers' camp here to-day on the charge of mutiny.
Fifteen were sentenced to be hanged, seven were acquitted, and 209 were sent to jail for varying terms.
