I am responding to the National Geographic notice: “Do You Have a Piece of History?” I believe I have the ONLY World War I daily diary in detail written by my grandfather, Col. Hugh Wilkinson, M. D. The World War I Museum in Kansas City, MO, says soldiers were not allowed to keep such documents because they could have fallen into enemy hands. This may be a one-of-a-kind document. I have photos, ship log, medical records and many other documents cover the period 1918 to 1920. Joe Vaughan – Kansas City – (913) 642-4321. Thank you!
