Over the years I have accumulated a near complete set of war diaries from the National Archives, covering the British Airborne Forces throughout the Second World War. This is a superb reference library, providing a daily record of everything that a particular unit was doing, whether in action overseas or training at home. Elements of these have been published on the website to help describe the various airborne operations, but this represents a mere fraction of the entire collection, which due to its sheer size, currently in excess of 71,000 pages, is unlikely to ever be made available on the site in any form.
It occurs to me that others could make excellent use of this material, so I would like to advertise what I have and offer it to anyone who would like a copy. As you might expect I am unable to do this for free, as the collection was an expensive 15 years in the making, and the maintenance and expansion of this website requires funding. Yet the fees are very reasonable in comparison to what it would cost to acquire these documents by visiting the National Archives in person or by hiring a private researcher. The fees are according to the number of pages in each individual document:
|
1-20 pages 21-100 pages 100+ pages A memory stick of the entire collection |
£3 £5 £10 £300 |
The war diaries are listed below, with the dates they span and the number of pages in brackets. The dates are believed to be a true indication of what is enclosed, but it is possible that a particular month was not included in the diary. If there is a specific date you are interested in, please get in touch so that I can check that it is included.
The diaries contain the daily record of events and, where available, operation orders, reports, sketches, and select examples of the weekly officers roll. The level of detail in each diary is entirely dependant upon the author; a month can be summarised with a single page, or a dozen sheets to describe one day. Each page is a jpeg photograph of 1280x960 resolution, compressed to a file size of around 100 kb, but not to a degree which has had a detrimental impact on quality. A typical example can be seen here.
Disclaimer
When I was photographing these documents my goal was to take as many as I could in the time available, and as a result they are not perfectly framed, and a small few have defects; e.g. blurring due to a warped page in a file bound too tight, or missing words due to damaged or folded sheets which were not noticed at the time. On a rare occasion I discover that a page is missing, and some sections, largely concerning administrative policy, were deliberately omitted as they were not a priority at the time and I had limited space on my memory card. Also bear in mind that these are copies of the original documents; most of the pages are typed and very easy to read, but a good number have been handwritten and some of these are extremely difficult to decipher. If you would like to see a typical page from a specific diary, just let me know. In summary, this is a wonderful record, but it is neither perfect nor complete.
To Order
If you would like to request a document, email pegasusarchive@googlemail.com and tell me which file(s) you are interested in and your preferred method of payment - cheque, BACS or Paypal via the Donate page. I will then confirm the fee and whether there are any apparent quality concerns within the document. Once payment has been received the files will be emailed to you in zip format, or, if you want the entire collection, posted first class on a memory stick.
Special Orders
If you are interested in a war diary or other document which is not on this list and may not have any connection to the Airborne Forces at all, let me know and I will endeavour to acquire it for you. If you are able to wait for up to a year potentially, I will get it as part of my annual visit to the National Archives at a cost of £15 per document up to 200 pages, with a surcharge of £10 per 100 additional pages thereafter in the rare event that the document exceeds that limit. Payment is to be made after I have collected the document, except in the case of very large orders where I will require part payment in advance. If you need it as soon as possible, I will require a payment of £100 in advance to cover one day's travel and one document, thereafter the same as above per additional document. If you would like to place any special order, please email me first to discuss it.
