France 1916, One year in my Granddad's War.

A story based on my granddad's 1916 diary.

I have resurrected a project I started well over a decade ago, that is to write a story based on my grandfather's 1916 diary. It is all very much a work in progress, in a very rough format and it will be changed as I read through what I have done, also I am not sure how good or interesting it actually is.

I may also write a full novel based on the diary and use my imagination more, if I can.

I never met my grandfather, unfortunately he died when my father was only seven, therefore I have no idea what he was like, so I am going to base it on a mixture of me and my Dad. Please let me have any constructive feedback you have.
