That is a great find. Memoirs that talk about the day-to-day life of people in the past are rarities and they are very valuable. People who write their memoirs think that the big events they participated in are what the readers will want to know about. But overtime the big events become the only thing anyone knows about, and we don’t need dozens or hundreds of similar stories about the big picture.. It’s the small details of day to day life that are completely lost, and that we people now living in the future. Want to know about.
While it’s not a military book. My favorite book in this category is Molly Hughes’s trilogy about growing up in London in the late 19th century.
What a great find. Please do translate the rest!
