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.

English Monarchs Leave Germany.

New York Times 100 years ago today, May 28, 1913:
BERLIN, May 27.— King George and Queen Mary of England ended their visit to-day with a review of the Guards Army Corps, followed by a gala luncheon in the Potsdam Palace. Their Majesties left here for England late in the afternoon. No confirmation is obtainable of a report from London that Emperor William is to visit Portsmouth in August, escorted by a squadron of German warships.
