Unit War Diaries

In the British Army, they are a daily record of actions and events.

Most of the WW1 and WW2 diaries are kept at the National Archives at Kew, athough copies are also kept at various units and in Regimental museums.

For access to the ones at Kew, you'll need to get a Reader's Ticket, so visit the website to find out how you get one. It's free, but you'll need ID.
