==What are 'events'?==

In this case, an event is the term used to describe a particular action. ~~This~~ ~~term is used broadly to encompass a variety~~ of ~~different~~ actions ~~as set out above~~. ~~So, an~~ event could be a reference to an ~~order~~ ~~given~~ by the ~~C.O.~~ ~~giving~~ ~~explicit~~ ~~instructions~~ to do ~~something~~ or it could be a simple ~~set~~ of casualty figures. The events are listed with specific intent to make clear the structure of a particular day's action, or inaction as the case may sometimes be. Events are set out under a single day with the headings: 1 January, 2 January, 3 January etc. Each event is bulleted under separate year headings with the oldest listed first. For example, events that happened in 1914 are placed above events that happened in 1915, 1916 and so on. A single month calendar is included on each page to enable easy navigation between days of the month and months of the year.
