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.

Destroyers and Submarines of Both Countries in Joint Movements.
OSTEND, March 14.— Flotillas of British and French torpedo-boat destroyers and submarines are carrying out a series of night manoeuvres in co-operation in the English Channel.
The commanders of the flotillas are following common plans of action, and there is a frequent exchange of wireless messages between the vessels.
