The following war diaries have transcriptions, some complete, others incomplete. The links below take you to the category pages of each war diary where you can choose specific months from that war diary set. |

This is an on-going project and we will endeavour to include as many transcriptions as possible when then are made available for inclusion. To view a war diary, click on any <span style="font-size:100%;"><font color=0645ad>✔</font></span> in the table to be taken to that page. An empty space denotes there is either no war diary transcribed for that month or it doesn't exist. |

War dairies of the First World War contain a wide variety of [[Abbreviations and acronyms of the British Army of the First World War|military abbreviations and acronyms]] that were used almost interchangeably with ordinary words written in longhand. Regimental war diaries at first glance may look the same or similar to any other war diary of its type but in reality they are unique in both style and manner, depending on the junior officer writing the war diary at the time. Generally, they also conform to a set of standardised military terms<ref>Standardised military terminology relating to, for example: artillery, weaponry, military ranks, occupations, honours, awards and regimental units.</ref> that ultimately furnish the 'reader' with an abbreviated/longhand collaborative prose that can, to the casual reader, appear dry and at times incomprehensible. Conversely, however, some war diaries from this period can also come across as clear and succinct and lacking any major discernible abbreviations or acronyms. |
