Thank you .

Re: WW1 diaries need transcribing

If I were you Phil, I would scan them in the best resolution you can muster and post them on thegreatwarforum.org along with all the information you currently know on your relative..the GWF is free, but read the rules first and post it on the 'Soldiers and their unit's ' thread. The advantage of the GWFis that the experts on there may well know much in regards to regiment's and their various locations plus a knowledge of the terms and acronyms often used.

I once bought a Helix magnifying ruler from a family history fair which is useful looking at old documents. It may help.

Phil, if you send me one of your high resolution images I will take a look to see how it may be improved.

Thank you for the offer but it is also the style of writing that I find difficult?
I think a genealogist is needed.
