W/ Ed's tweak LGTM. Recommend posting to @wikimedia eight hours from now -- 8 p.m. PST, 5 a.m. GMT -- to catch Australia Saturday afternoon with FB targeted to Australia same time. If no objections or quibbles I'll schedule.

The Facebook post is not (strictly speaking) accurate. They're just cataloging them on-wiki, not preserving them. Perhaps "During World War I, despite being forbidden by their superiors, many Australian soldiers kept a personal diary small enough to hide in their top pocket. Now, over 1300 of them are cataloged on Wikipedia." ?

The State Library of NSW set out to collect them in 1919, and they're now being preserved on Wikipedia. https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/10/16/great-war-memories/

thanks,
