Diaries revealing the life and death decisions made by soldiers serving in the trenches during the First World War have been newly digitised by the National Archives.

War diaries were kept by military units throughout the war, chronicling the entire period from their arrival on the front to when they left at the end.

While not personal diaries, they often recount the actions of individuals and offer personal insights into life – and inevitably death – on the front line.
