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.

To Guard Against Airships.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 26, 1912:
New British Battleships Will Have Special Protection.
LONDON, Monday, Aug. 20.— The battleships provided for by the current year's estimates, The Times says, will be longer than the Iron Duke class now building.
They will be armed with fourteen-inch guns, and will be provided with a curved, armored upper deck and funnel protection to resist attacks from air craft.
