• 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. 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/
