    I do like the raw sentiment and context that wartime correspondence conveys. That said, the site appears to be maintained by a slightly paranoid barrister.
    • every person's identity is obscured
    • each letter comes with heavy warning and caveats "viewer discretion advised/reader discretion advised"
    • each account has all time/dates redacted save for the year
    • and all "problematic" language has been removed. Was it really necessary to present the word "D__n" instead of "Damn" among others?
    Interesting letters, and I can see the point of protecting the identify of people who's inner thoughts you are sharing here, but unfortunately it's not so useful as a source as it might be. Attribution underpins a citation with it's credibility, and we can't attribute anything to anyone here.
