Series IX: Virginia War Diaries and Incidents, 1915-1922 (bulk 1917-1919)

Scope and content:

The Virginia War Diaries and Incidents series is housed in 4 boxes and consists of records from 45 Virginia soldiers and civilians. Most of the narratives are only a few pages but some are of significant length. Notable records include a book by Palmer V. Boyd, Kriegegfangenlanger 80053: My Experiences as a Prisoner of War in Germany and extensive material submitted by Charles Hall Davis. Virginia War Letters, Diaries and Editorials, edited by Arthur Kyle Davis, includes a detailed calendar of most of these records (see pages 475-486, 525 and 527). Several diaries and narratives included in this series were omitted from the source volume.
