Two of my favourite blog sites are the Diary of Samuel Pepys and Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci where you can read a daily entry from these works by RSS. However, this blog looks just as interesting. It is is made up of transcripts of Harry Lamin's letters from the first World War. The letters are posted exactly 90 years after they were written.
William Henry Bonser Lamin was born in August 1887 in Awsworth Notts, to Henry and Sarah Lamin. and was educated at Awsworth Board School, just outside Ilkeston, Derbyshire, England.
To find out Harry's fate, follow the blog: WW1 Experiences of an English Solider
If you like those, you might like Chambers' Book of Days (http://www.thebookofdays.com/months/jan/8.htm; HTML).
And, in a shameless bit of self-promotion, my Draculablog: http://infocult.typepad.com/dracula .
