In 1914, my grandfather, Thomas Edwin (Ted) Buckley, was a 12 year old schoolboy living in Cheshire, England. He had a Boy Scout Diary in which he completed entries for every day of the year. Most of these refer to playing football or cricket with occasional comments on the weather but there is a change in July 1914 when he went on a school trip to France. I have been transcribing the diary and plan to post the entries for July and August over the next two months,
