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.

Fight Near Dardanelles.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 23, 1912:
Report That the Allies Are Advancing on the Forts.
Special Cable to The New York Times. Dispatch to The London Daily Mall.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Saturday, Nov. 23.— A report was circulated last night that the expected battle was going on at Gallipoli, on the European side of the Dardanelles, where an attack from the land on the Dardanelles forts was anticipated.
