| Publisher Description: A War-time Journal, Germany 1914 and German Travel Notes was written by Lady Harriet Jephson. The journal begins, "August 2nd.-Germany has declared war against Russia All men old enough to serve are leaving to join the army. Proclamations are posted up in the Park Strasse, and crowds are standing in tense anxiety in groups, discussing matters with grave faces. We don't know how to get away, since all trains are to be used only for the troops while "mobilmachung" is going on. People have got as far as the frontier and been turned back there, and some who left Altheim yesterday are still at Frankfort. I tried to buy an English paper in the town, and was told that none were to be had until England had made up her mind what she was going to do We think of motor-cars to the frontier, or the Rhine boat." |
