Summary "Diary Kept by Rifleman B. C. Stubbs of the Second Draft Sent to the Queen Victoria Rifles in France" is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This diary chronicles the experiences of Rifleman Bernard Castle Stubbs as he serves in World War I, specifically detailing his journey and the harsh realities of life on the front lines. The work serves as a poignant documentation of the soldier's experiences during significant military engagements, particularly around Ypres and Hill 60. The diary offers a candid and often harrowing insight into Stubbs's daily life as a soldier, from initial training and preparation to active combat. Through his entries, readers witness the monotony and chaos of military life, including long waits, drills, and the terrifying unpredictability of trench warfare. Stubbs vividly recounts his emotions regarding comradeship, fear of enemy attacks, and the profound physical and mental strain of war. The narrative culminates in the tragic account of his eventual injury and subsequent death from a shell wound, providing a heartbreaking yet powerful glimpse into the sacrifices made by soldiers during the Great War.
