A War-time Journal Germany 1914 and German Travel Notes

A War-time Journal, Germany 1914, records the experience of Lady Harriet Julia Jephson (1854-1930), an Anglo-Irish writer caught inside Germany when war broke out in August 1914. Her diary entries describe the mobilisation fever, the sudden suspicion surrounding foreigners, and her anxious weeks getting out of the country, paired with travel notes from gentler German days. Published in 1915, the journal belongs to the first wave of civilian war memoirs, when ordinary travellers found themselves enemy aliens overnight. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
