Joseph wrote this diary from the day he went to enlist on 13th January 1916 until he returned to Fremantle on 8th July 1919.
Joseph's story has been edited and illustrated by Roger Elmitt. He writes "What a challenge! A diary, over 100 years old, in good condition fairly difficult to read thus in need of transcription. I don't think one could 'enjoy' reading this diary! It is quite harrowing in parts and graphically describes front line life as a medical orderly during WW1. However I am sure that you will find it interesting."
