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.

Bulgaria Captured a Correspondent

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 22, 1912:
LONDON. Nov. 21.— Angus Hamilton. the correspondent of the Central News Agency, with the Turks, was captured by the Bulgarians in the first fighting in front of the Tchatalja lines. It was feared that he was dead, as no news had been received from him since Nov. 10, but his mother received a message today that he had been taken as a prisoner to Sofia.
