Item
Identifier: MS.8908
Scope and Contents
The bulk of the journal, which is apparently a fair copy based on diary-letters sent home, is concerned with the sea voyages. A short account of William Gauldie's time in South Africa (folios 33-39) is described as 'written from memory in 1915'. There are a few pencilled amendments in another hand.
