Blogging the First World War

I just stumbled upon this: it's a real-time blog of a soldier in World War I. That is, his letters home are being posted to the blog exactly 90 years after they were written. Here's an explanatory excerpt from the first entry:

Harry Lamin was born in August 1887 in the East Midlands of England. In 1917, aged 29, he joined up to fight in the First World War [...] During his time in the army, he wrote letters home to his brother and sister. They were kept and handed down to me, his grandson.

I have transcribed the letters and added commentary so that references can make sense.

What has been produced is a moving and poignant account of an ordinary man's experiences in an extraordinary situation [...]The intention of this blog is to publish the letters exactly 90 years after Harry wrote them. His first letter from the training camp was written on February 7th 1917. It will be published on the blog on February 7th 2007. [...] If you wish to find out Harry's fate then you'll have to access the blog as the new letters arrive.

What an amazing idea.
