Edward Walford Manifold was born on 28th April 1892 and grew up in the Western District of Victoria. Together with his older brother William Herbert (Bee), he travelled to England to join the Royal Field Artillery when World War I broke out. Day by day, this blog publishes his letters home and the entries he made in his diaries, from 1915 when he was first sent to France until 1918 when his service ends.

An infernally cold day for reading a map on tops of hills and we leave our horses outside Béthune and walk along the roads. The main feature of the morning is picking battery positions. After class is over, I walk in two miles with the Colonel.
