New to the page – VR Pauline’s diary, 1918

New on the web site – Victor Pauline’s diary, 1918 

 

Cathy Jansen has obtained images from the diary of Victor Reginald Pauline from the BC Aviation Museum.  They were donated to the Museum by Kathleen Paulin, Cathy’s aunt.  The diary has not been fully transcribed yet – a job for later, but I was able to do a few pages as a start.

Notice the early part of the diary, January 1918 when he visits the family of Ernest and Emma Paulin.  He talks a lot about his cousin Hilda, and also about Grace, and his aunty Emmy.

Dear Wilf 

 

Received your letter dated Jan. 29th a week ago- Grace and Hilda have flue, both in bed, at the same time- they have now started work again- so many have had it run down conditions, no doubt, cause it-  Sorry your sugar is rationed, we have been short, but manage somehow.  I had Golden Syrop with my month’s allowance, find a tea spoon in hot milk is fine for porridge (my breakfast dish).  The good thing, especially for large families, bread is not rationed, though a little darker in colour.  We can stand anything, to help win this terrible war- which of course we shall do with the help of our grand allies- God grant it may be soon.  I am still collecting paper and help at home, while the young ones work- That is all I can do now- This is a time where old age is a nuisance.  Hope you are all well.  Love to yourself, George and all your dear ones. Your loving Aunt Emmie
