    Note: Original spelling is retained for this document and all that follow. Appendix 1: Primary source and background documents Document No. 1: Germany's Declaration of War with Russia, August 1, 1914 Presented by the German Ambassador to St. Petersburg The Imperial German Government have used every effort since the beginning of the crisis to bring about a peaceful settlement. In compliance with a wish expressed to him by His Majesty the Emperor of Russia, the German Emperor had undertaken, in concert with Great Britain, the part of mediator between the Cabinets of Vienna and St. Petersburg; but Russia, without waiting for any result, proceeded to a general mobilisation of her forces both on land and sea. In consequence of this threatening step, which was not justified by any military proceedings on the part of Germany, the German Empire was faced by a grave and imminent danger. If the German Government had failed to guard against this peril, they would have compromised the safety and the very existence of Germany. The German Government were, therefore, obliged to make representations to the Government of His Majesty the Emperor of All the Russias and to insist upon a cessation of the aforesaid military acts. Russia having refused to comply with this demand, and having shown by this refusal that her action was directed against Germany, I have the honour, on the instructions of my Government, to inform your Excellency as follows: His Majesty the Emperor, my august Sovereign, in the name of the German Empire, accepts the challenge, and considers himself at war with Russia.

The book traces Hitler's early life, with emphasis upon his experiences during the First World War, before detailing his activities from 1919, when he entered political life, until 30 January 1933, when he became chancellor of Germany. The pages immediately before this excerpt deal with his prewar existence in Vienna, during which he lived in public institutions for homeless men while eking out a living as a painter of postcards and illustrations used by framemakers who found that their frames sold more readily when there were pictures in them.

  • Eggs for the Wounded’: a Study of Contributions to the National Egg Collection in West Sussex
    West Sussex & the Great War Project www.westsussexpast.org.uk ‘Eggs for the Wounded’: A Study of Contributions to the National Egg Collection in West Sussex (www.loc.gov/pictures/related/?fi=subject=chickens. England 1910-1920. No known restrictions on publication.) http://www.ww1propoganderposters/ [1] By Maria Fryday 1 Maria Fryday and West Sussex County Council West Sussex & the Great War Project www.westsussexpast.org.uk Introduction: I first became intrigued by reports on ‘Eggs for the Wounded’ whilst researching some information with regard to my maternal grandparents Fanny Ethel Foskett and William Sydney Manning, who served with the Royal Sussex Regiment, and later, from 1916, with the 2/6th Battalion, Royal Warwickshire, The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. They had apparently married during my late grandfather’s leave in October 1917, and I decided to review the local newspaper to see if, remotely, their marriage had been reported. It was not. However, weekly records of egg collections for the southern West Sussex area were noted with some pomp, and so began a trawl of reports on these items. West Sussex County Council were evidently interested in such information to collect to supplement the forthcoming documentation of information relating to persons and issues concerned with West Sussex during World War 1 (WW1) also referred to as The Great War, and so I continued to research my unintentional project, concentrating on local – for me - information detailed within the Chichester Observer and West Sussex Recorder. I had no expectation when started to research this topic that I would write to such length, nor that the Reference List at the end would become so extensive… So, a shortened version will be provided as well, to make it less challenging to read.
