Transcription: Left page   A letter from Patsy, sent on 6th-, full of esprit - gently poking fun at her mother & me. Full of bad spelling! Says she is going with E. in a hired car to Ardagh to collect the war provisions bought last April. One of my letters, still probably in France, had advised against touching them till more urgent need arose.  Right page   15/9/39 Friday. There is general satisfaction that Daladier has removed Bonnet from Quai D'Orsay, making him Min. for Justice "He is now vis-à-vis de la justice", remarked Charron last night at Avenol's dinner. Bonnet, if not a peace-with-Germany-at-any-price man was said to be; alleged to have played an important part in the Munich decisions. re CzechoSlovakia. Some one asked Avenol last night where was Laval (there had been a false report of his visit to Italy). "Il n'est pas encore ful fusillé!," the S.G. said. All the same I have the impression, about which I am most discreet, that France is not so determined in her attitude as Britain. All the better that Bonnet shd- not be M/F.A.

Transcription: Left page   fishing companion in fulfilment of a promise to let me know if sport improved after my hurried departure. A schoolmaster, who was in British Army in Ireland until the Truce (1921) & had charge of an internment camp, Recalled his friendship with John Joyce, one of the intemed. (friend of Desmond Ryan, student at St. Enda's, & now a major in our own Army). Joyce asked him to come & stay with him some day. Quite like a Walshe novel. Mayo is an Ireland-lover My fishing holiday was the worst I ever had, owing to drought. Got a salmon 6 ½ lbs in Spiddal river, first day, then went to Ardagh but waters fell lower & lower. Got 3 or 4 sea trout. Saw plenty of salmon. Generally reported the worst season for many years. Later: Eve of 3rd- Oct. Edmonds wrote "not a drop of rain for past 5 weeks" He had got another (3rd-) salmon of 9 lb. and there were salmon & seatrout in  Ballinhy  lough. No sign of eels running: I had got him a licence. Had sent ¼ ton potatoes to Elsie. Shooting not very good. Some duck shot but geese not yet arrived.  Right page   13/9/39   Ganem, back from Paris, says the evacuation has caused certain temporary organisation difficulties. e.g. the Foreign affairs people are in three different chateaux. He says the French casualties during the first four days of the second World War were for two wounded. But denies as wild exaggeration the Geneva report of 75 000 wounded during the recent advance. The Orient Express - Paris Vallorbe Lausanne Simplon - is running again but carries no mails. Peter Mortished got a place in a refugee train arrayed by English Consul today, Ordered to carry 36 to 48 hour's provisions bef for journey across France. Sent a letter to Elsie by him.

Description: Ratne bojne dopisnice (Feldpost) bile su najfunkcionalnije sredstvo komuniciranja vojnika sa porodicom tokom Prvog svjetskog rata. Većinom su bile cenzurisane i na njima se nalazio pečat vojne cenzure, regimentalni pečat i pečat vojne pošte. Na velikom broju dopisnica nalazila su se sva tri pečata, međutim, nerijetko se nalazio samo jedan ili dva. Poznato je da su vojnici bili strogo kažnjavani ukoliko su svjesno pisali bilo šta što otkriva vojne tajne. Pisati su mogli samo vojnici. Sve što bi napisali davalo bi se vojnom cenzoru da to pregleda i tek kad on odobri moglo se poslati porodici. Čitajući pisma, može se uvidjeti da su ona poprilično štura, te da su dobro pazili o svemu šta je napisano, upravo iz razloga da bi izbjegli probleme sa nadređenim. Feldpost sistem Austro-ugarske Monarhije, omogućavao je vojnicima da komuniciraju sa svojim najbližima. Sačuvane razglednice i pisma pružaju lični pogled na to kako su pojedini vojnici doživljavali sukobe. || Devet bojnih dopisnica (Feldpost)

Description: Este un volum de jurnal din cele trei deţinute de Biblioteca Judeţeană Octavian Goga Cluj. || Dumitru Nistor, ţăran din satul Năsăud s-a născut în 1893. Visând din copilărie să călătorească şi să vadă ţări străine, în 1912, când vine vremea “număraşului” (recrutării) el cere să fie primit nu în miliţia ardeleană, unde erau recrutaţi de obicei românii, ci în marina austro-ungară. Terminând şcoala de marină, după o călătorie la Viena, este îmbarcat ca Geschützvormeister (“primul îndreptător de tun”) pe vasul SMS Kaiserin Elisabeth, cu destinaţia Asia. Prins de război în Marea Chinei, crucişătorul Kaiserin Elisabeth participă la câteva bătălii navale, pentru ca în 2 noiembrie 1914 să se hotărască scufundarea lui. Echipajul pierde şi lupta terestră, este luat prizonier de japonezi şi transportat în arhipelagul nipon. Timp de zece luni, ţăranul-marinar din Năsăud va fi prizonier într-o mănăstirea buddhistă din Himeji, iar apoi mutat într-un lagăr, construit special pentru prizonierii germani şi austrieci, la Aonogahara, nu departe de Kobe, unde va rămâne până la sfârşitul anului 1919.
