Helpful Hints
From 1st March 1918 the leap year in 2008 takes the synchronicity of the days and dates away. Decision: I will publish letters a day in advance so that the days of the week coincide, rather than the date.

It doesn't work quite like a book. To make sense of the whole blog, take the link to the "First Posts", work from the bottom entry upwards and then take the "Newer posts" link at the bottom of each page for the next installment.
Good luck! Comments most welcome. BL

Listened to your interview. Fascinating. I have just returned from a music tour with my Big Band to Belgium. On the way back we stopped in Ypres for a battlefield tour. One of the most moving experiences of my life. The students were stunned to silence at the enormity of it all. Fantastic blog. How did you link the broadcast to the blog? (If you don't mind me asking.. Keep up the good work... I've added links to it on my department blog for the students to follow as well.
