Transcription: sleep three to two mattresses; boys slept on the stage. Cooking was done on a row of oil-stoves placed in front of the stage. Only two had ovens. Mrs. Curtis of Slade End House was in charge. Miss Allnutt, Mrs. Lay and Winifred were among the helpers. Miss Perceval was Nurse, and suffered broken nights with crying babies waiting for milk to be heated on the slow stove.      Whole page advertisements appeared in newspapers, asking office and factory workers to spend their holidays helping on the land. Some came to pick fruit in Sotwell, but Mr. Everex relied on Y.M.C.A. lads who lived in his or neighbours' houses. P.O.W's. from their camp above Blewbury were driven to the village each morning, and helped with harvesting of potatoes and sugar beet; they also did drainage work -witness Mackney Brook. Mrs. Everex joined the Womens' Land Army in 1941. She lived at Basildon House, was sent to different farms according to seasonal needs and was paid 36/- (£1.80) a week. Farmers were ordered to plough up permanent pastures, and we lost our park-like meadow in the Croft.      People were encouraged to keep a pig or a few hens, and a Pig club was run by Mr. Warner Allen at Iden House. Members enjoyed the advantages of bulk buying, but had to forego their bacon ration.  Travel Warrant from the Army A.F.W.3145 D (Ist) ARMY 302313 Part V. Allied Expeditionary Force.

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.
