Experiences of an English Soldier in the first World War
On the internet there are numerous weblogs from war and crisis areas. An unusual version provides at present for sensation.
A soldier reports on his experiences in the contactor ditches of the First World War. William Henry Bonser Lamin, called Harry does not not blog himself any more. He would be 120 years old today. It is his 59 year old grandchild Bill Lamin, who publishes the letters of his grandfather under the title “WW1: Experiences of an English Soldier” on the internet, exactly on the day 90 years after Harry had written them.
The letters document the life of a soldier between banalities and the frights of the war. Remarkably is not only the Blog but also the resonance. Nearly 70,000 times Harry Lamins profile was clicked, there are numerous comments to each entry.
The only thing I can say is: Take a look yourself and enjoy a little bit of history! Go to wwar1.blogspot.com
