Description
This cover was originally used by 25 Private Thomas James Richards, 1st Australian Field Ambulance, to bind the first four of his First World War diaries into a single volume. The diaries contained within cover the period 26 August 1914 to 24 April 1915. Richards bound the volume sometime after returning home from the First World War. The binding was removed so that preservation scanning of the original diaries contained within could take place.
