Fonds consists of personal diaries of William Clement Morgan of the 24th Battalion, CEF. The diaries describe Morgan's military service in France, 1917-1919, and deal mainly with his reactions to day-to-day activities. Any activity which breaks the routine of fighting and marching is highlighted. For this reason, the diaries give a good deal of attention to Morgan's visits to towns outside the immediate fighting area.
