BEASTLY SNEAKS: Based on the idea of creating a diary archive, where people can send personal collections of diaries to be securely stored for future reference, below is a record of diary related stories and ideas... 'Beastly Sneaks' is a phrase taken from the diary of the young Godfrey Williams, 1887, which opens with the warning: "Take Notice - All persons who look at this diary without my leave are Beastly Sneaks..."

In between being shelled by the Germans 'firing all day', he receives a visit from 'a beautiful widow Mrs Wynne by name she is a Red Cross lady and it was a treat talking to a lady after all our troubles.'
