The diaries of Robert Long

DescriptionRobert "Bob" Long was born on October 21 1894, in Tallaght near Dublin, Ireland. (In the diaries he refers to his birthday as being in November. This was a misunderstanding he had throughout his life). He joined the 32nd Field Ambulance, (Royal Army Medical Corps, 16th Division, No. 42815), in 1914. He left England on July 14 1915 on board the "Canada". He was captured in August 1915 at Suvla Bay, Dardanelles. He was two months off turning 21 when he was captured. He was Prisoner No. 284. What follows is a transcription from what I believe are his original prisonerofwar diaries. Unfortunately they cease in November 1916. He was not released until November 1918._x000D_
